The Book of Ceylon. An Account

of its Varied Attractions for the Visitor and Tourist.

[blocks in formation]

"This is a most exhaustive work on Ceylon, and the author, a learned graduate of Oxford, is well qualified by long residence and travel throughout the island to speak with authority. The book is a perfect mine of information."-Scottish Geographical Magazine.

"This volume seems to contain almost everything that can be said about the island, telling the reader all he should see, describing the industries of the country, and giving practical guidance as to expenses."-The Spectator.

"It is a big name which Mr. Cave has given to his book, but he has evidently resolved that the volume shall live up to its title. It is in fact one of the most comprehensive and thoroughly satisfactory books we have ever seen, and no visitor to Ceylon will be able to do without it."-The Aberdeen Journal.

II.

Golden Tips. A Description of Ceylon

and its Great Tea Industry.

With 215 Illustrations from Photographs by the Author. IOS. 6d. net. "Mr. Cave seems to hold a brief for the whole Island of Ceylon, with its varied attractions. The charm of Cingalese life and nature is depicted with glowing colours and interesting details."-Athenæum.

"Mr. H. W. Cave has given us a most fascinating and picturesque account of Ceylon. No one will read the book, with its entrancing photographs, without wishing to set out at once to the enchanted island."-Westminster Gazette.

"Mr. H. W. Cave deserves well of Ceylon. He has done an immense amount of work in making the attractions of the Colony known to the reading public who reside in other parts of the Empire. His latest work is a splendid effort."-Standard.
