XII,446,(2) pp. Second and best edition. - Excellent account of Ceylon to which in this second edition not only an appendix was added but also an index and the plates. - The British succeeded the Dutch in Ceylon in 1796, Captain Robert Percival arrived with the British forces in 1797 and spent three years in Sri Lanka. He was, as he writes, 'induced by curiosity' because 'the accounts hitherto published of this island had been extremely imperfect; as the watchful jealousy of the Dutch both excluded the researches of strangers, and prevented their own people from publishing any observations.. '. He had a pronounced hatred of the cruelty of Dutch rule. In 1800 he joined General Macdowal's embassy to the court of Candy and gives a valuable report of this happening. In his description of pearl fishery he brings to life the extravaganza, the customs and superstitions of the fisherman and the dangers of the deep. Among the plates i.a. a view on the fort of Batacolo, elephant hunting, and the Cinnamon gardens near Columbo. - A fine copy.Goonetileke 35a (mentions erroneously 4 instead of 3 charts).
