Format: Paperback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

"This book provides a detailed source of reference for the main trends in the history of Sri Lanka from prehistoric times to the present. Tracing the origins of the main races and aspects of its South Indian background, it gives a short account of the physical nature of the island and discusses the origins of its names. Also, it extends elaborate discussion on the important facets of ancient Sinhalese administration, social structure, everyday life and culture in early times. Brief accounts of Sinhalese and Tamil kings under each historical period up to sixteenth century find place in the discussion as well."--Publisher.
