First sentence: I TAKE it for granted that the readers of this work will have some general acquaintance with the position, history, and condition of Ceylon-the largest, most populous, and most important of the dependencies, the affairs of which are administered under the direct control of the Colonial Office, and which are therefore known as Crown colonies.
