Regarding "Ceylon in 1903" as an Illustrated Volume, a special feature of the present edition is the separate arrangement of most of the engravings (many of them new) on distinctive sheets. The map of the Island (which will be found in the pocket inside cover or bound in the volume if required) will be found correct and convenient for reference. Finally, the author has to express his pleasure that permission has been given him to dedicate the present edition to one of the ablest and most successful as well as prosperous in the long list of British Governors of Ceylon, and whose name will long be remembered in the annals of the island, as well as in those of the Isle of man, of Ireland, of India and Afghanistan, in all of which countries, His Excellency sir West Ridgeway has made his mark as an Administrator.
