About the Book:-Conscious that, in publishing these volumes, one of the author’s positive motives, and that a principal one, is a sincere desire to benefit a very large class of his fellow-countrymen, he should have committed them, unprefaced, to the candid judgment of his readers, had not some circumstances recently occurred, which seem to call for a few additional remarks. The book emphasizes on two of the points upon which it treats those of colonization and emigration, if ever government measures of colonization and emigration are to be expected to afford, to our suffering and redundant population, that relief of which it obviously stands in such urgent need. The time is, perhaps, not far distant, when the prudence of such a course will be manifest to everyone. These two volumes of work are an amusing collection of events, and observations made by the author during his stay in Ceylon in the capacity of the commandant of Galle and seven Korles and as the judicial agent of the government. It has a wealth of observations on daily life, customs, ceremonies along with notices on its flora and fauna. It contains plates in both the volumes to delineate the things properly and a map in the 2nd volume. The author arrived in Ceylon in 1819 and published the book in 1843.

Size of the book is 13.34 x 21.59 cms Vol:- Vol. 1st, 2020, 6, In very good condition - has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.In a sweeping, propulsive, and multilayered narrative, The Way of the World investigates how the West relinquished the moral leadership it now desperately needs to fight the real threat of our era: a nuclear weapon in the hands of terrorists. Suskind shows where the most neglected dangers lie in the story of 'The Armageddon Test' - a desperate gamble to send undercover teams into the world's nuclear black market to frustrate the efforts of terrorists trying to procure weapons-grade uranium. In the end, he finally reveals for the first time the explosive falsehood underlying the Iraq War and the Blair-Bush coalition.The Way of the World simultaneously follows an ensemble of characters around the world who are turning fear and frustration into a desperate - and often daring - brand of human salvation. They include a striving, 24-year-old Pakistani émigré, a fearles UN refugee commissioner, an Afghan teenager, a Holocaust survivor's son, and Benazir Bhutto, who discovers, days before her death, how she's been abandoned by the United States at her moment of greatest need. They are all testing Western values at a time of peril, and discovering solutions - human solutions - to so much that has gone wrong., Simon & Schuster, 2008, 3, Washington: Printed by Blair & Rives, 1834. 10 pages.

While still living in Oporto, he wrote The Prime Minister, a historical novel, and Lusitanian Sketches, descriptions of travels in Portugal. Settling in England, he interested himself in the emigration movement, edited The Colonist and The Colonial Magazine and East India Review in 1844, was honorary secretary of a colonisation society, wrote Some Suggestions for a System of General Emigration in 1848, lectured on colonisation in 1849, published a manual for colonists entitled How to Emigrate in 1850, and visited the western highlands on behalf of the emigration commissioners. He was afterwards a zealous volunteer and worked actively for the improvement of the condition of seamen. But from 1850, his chief occupation was writing books for boys, or editing boys' annuals and weekly periodicals. He started the Union Jack, a paper for boys, only a few months before his death."

"Henty once related in an interview how his storytelling skills grew out of tales told after dinner to his children. He wrote his first children's book, Out on the Pampas in 1868, naming the book's main characters after his children. The book was published by Griffith and Farran in November 1870 with a title page date of 1871. While most of the 122 books he wrote were for children, he also wrote adult novels, non-fiction such as The March to Magdala and Those Other Animals, short stories for the likes of The Boy's Own Paper and edited the Union Jack, a weekly boy's magazine. His children's novels typically revolved around a boy or young man living in troubled times. These ranged from the Punic War to more recent conflicts such as the Napoleonic Wars or the American Civil War. Henty's heroes – which occasionally included young ladies – are uniformly intelligent, courageous, honest and resourceful with plenty of 'pluck' yet are also modest. These virtues have made Henty's novels popular today among many Christians and homeschoolers." (from Wikipedia) ., Latimer House Limited, 1954, 2.75, London, England: Cassell and Company, Ltd..
