1860.
Ceylon:
by Sir James Emerson Tennent

It is remarkable but only too true that nobody has done in this 20th century what Sir James Emerson Tennent had achieved in 1859-60 in the second volume of his classic work on Ceylon, to write a comprehensive history of the island from its legendary beginnings to the author's own day, a span of over 2,000 years.
