The British Government And The Idolatry Of Ceylon (1841) - Robert Spence Hardy - Bog

The British Government And The Idolatry Of Ceylon (1841) is a historical book written by Robert Spence Hardy. The book explores the relationship between the British government and the traditional religious practices of the people of Ceylon (modern-day Sri Lanka) during the early 19th century. Hardy argues that the British government's attempts to suppress the traditional practices of the people of Ceylon were misguided and ultimately ineffective. He suggests that the British should have taken a more nuanced approach to the issue, one that respected the cultural traditions of the people of Ceylon while also promoting modernization and progress. The book provides valuable insights into the colonial history of Sri Lanka and the challenges faced by the British government in its attempts to modernize the country. It is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of colonialism, religious practices, and cultural preservation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
