About the "Art of Travel" has already been said and written. Here are some excerpts from Karl Baedeker guidebook "India" in 1914, dealing with the island of Ceylon. The following prodavnica igracaka original text from the historical guide is a supplement to Article 100 years India Baedeker, which I posted here some time ago.
Ceylon (in English pronunciation s il ó n;. S sharp, long open o) is between 5 55 'and 9 51' n Br and 79 41 'and 81 54' ö L., of the... SO. Coast Front of India separated by the Palk Strait and the Gulf of Mannar. Between the two parts of the sea Adam's Bridge performs a series of small islands, rocks and sandbanks, the so-called (p. 76/77), the mainland across. It has therefore Ceylon well compared with a pear-shaped prodavnica igracaka pearl, which is attached as a jewel in India's ear. The size (65,600 square kilometers) is almost the same of the Kingdom of Bavaria without the Palatinate. From the plains, which comprises approximately of the island, rises like a shield boss in the middle prodavnica igracaka of the highlands, in a wild, picturesque and irregular structure. Its highest peaks are Pidurutalagalla (2538m), the Kirigalpolla (2387 m) and the Totapolla prodavnica igracaka (2351m). The most powerful impression makes the pyramidal Adamspik (2241m; 51). In the mountain prodavnica igracaka maze single high valleys and wider basin are embedded as the districts of Kandy (35), Hatton (45) and Nuwara prodavnica igracaka Eliya (46). Of the rivers (the larger the Hindustani word "Ganga", the smaller "Oya") is only a few here and there navigable. Most important is the Mahaweli Ganga that flows between the Pidurutalagalla and Adamspik and ends on the east coast. The fertile lowlands to the W. of the island lacks natural harbors. Also useful is the Bay of Galle (32), the Port of Colombo is artificially enhanced (27). Excellent is the only port of Trincomali prodavnica igracaka on the rocky coast (p.65). The mountain is composed of ancient archaic slate, granite and gneiss, whose decomposition product, a brick-red clay or laterite, the floor is a bright, against the green plants dress sharply contrasting color. Very recent origin is the north end exploded prodavnica igracaka islands and lagoons prodavnica igracaka of the island, from madrepores - (coral) consists lime. Become coral reefs, z. T. connected with the mainland by alluvial deposits, the W.- accompany coast south. Clolombo to the other side. The overall geological character of Ceylon corresponds to the Dekkhanhalbinsel (67). - Metals are poorly represented. In contrast found in the granulites and crystalline limestones prodavnica igracaka of southern, western prodavnica igracaka and north-western provinces up to 1m thick veins and nests pure graphite, for the Ceylon now the most important production area of the world is (annually at 6 million. Hundredweight). The wealth of precious prodavnica igracaka and semi - precious stones hardly comes another country Ceylon same.
The most valuable are the jewels that shine in a purer red than that of Burma (p 278); but flawless stones are rare and are already paid in size from 1 carat R. 300-800. Sapphires are cheaper, especially the colorless "white". Ceylon is peculiar to the Star Sapphire, round polished with six-part in incident radiation; just beautiful specimens are highly paid. Among the semi-precious stones: amethyst, topaz, tourmaline, chrysoberyl (cat's prodavnica igracaka eye and alexandrite, the latter in the day bronze green, deep red in artificial light), zircon, spinel, Moonstone (an orthoclase feldspar of silvery, in its most valuable prodavnica igracaka variety strong blue cast; Highest price 75-100 R. the piece), garnet and beryl (aquamarine). Only the moon stone is found in solid rock, all other districts in Flußgeröll the Balangoda (50), Rakwana prodavnica igracaka and Ratnapura (page 33). Due to the increasing demand of tourists and foreign gems come in Ceylon in the trade. See pp. Xxvi.
