The Buried Cities of Ceylon, (Paperback)

This little book does not profess to contain anything strikingly original: its aim is to introduce the traveller and the antiquarian (and the two are frequently synonymous) to rarely trodden and most fascinating ground; to the beautiful remains of an architecture and a civilization of 2,000 years ago, the greater part of which are easily accessible: and to make a humble attempt at awakening, if possible, a greater interest in a part of Ceylon which is only just arising from the slumber and neglect of many centuries.
