Eight Years' Wanderings in Ceylon

THIS IS A DOWNLOADABLE E-BOOK. A population of some millions wholly dependent upon the supply of rice for their existence would be thrown into sudden starvation by the withdrawal of the water. Thus have the nations died out like a fire for lack of fuel. This cause will account for the decay of the great cities of Ceylon. The population gone, the wind and the rain would howl through the deserted dwellings, the white ants would devour the supporting beams.Baker, Samuel W. is the author of 'Eight Years' Wanderings in Ceylon', published 2004 under ISBN 9781419217418 and ISBN 1419217410.
