Description

Ceylon in 1903 by John Ferguson is a comprehensive and authoritative account of the island of Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka) during the British colonial period. Rich in historical, economic, and social detail, the book captures the transformation of the island over the course of a century, particularly emphasizing the developments since 1803. Ferguson, an experienced journalist and editor, documents the rise of key industries such as tea, coconut, and rubber plantations, as well as the growth of commerce, infrastructure, and governance under British rule. The book offers detailed statistical data, insightful commentary, and vivid descriptions of the island's diverse population, religious practices, and administrative systems. Intended both as a historical record and a resource for investors and colonial administrators, Ceylon in 1903 serves as a valuable window into the colonial mindset and the aspirations of the British Empire in South Asia. It remains an essential resource for researchers, historians, and anyone interested in the colonial history of Sri Lanka.
