Sketches of the Natural History of Ceylon
James Emerson, Sir Tennent
The elephant gets a full monograph, but so do the mammals, birds, reptiles, fishes, and insects of the whole island. Sir James Emerson Tennent fills these pages with anecdote and observation from tropical Ceylon, engraved from original drawings. A rich Victorian natural history of Sri Lanka's wild creatures. Meet an island teeming with life.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
