Description
Excerpt from Fifty Years in Ceylon: An Autobiography
We cannot forget that when you began public life in this Colony, nearly half a century ago, the interior of the country was almost inaccessible, and that roads and other means of communication were then almost unknown. The Colony now possesses a network of roads [nearly miles of made roads in an area of miles*] such as few colonies can boast of, and this state of things is in no small degree attributable to your indefatigable zeal and energy.
