Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About The Book:-In this volume, there is no attempt to deal with the political difficulties and social aspirations of the inhabitants of these wonderful portions of the British Empire. A conscientious effort has been made, however, to convey useful and interesting information regarding the seaports with which it is concerned, more especially their commercial and industrial activities. This thin book is an extract of the Sri Lankan portion of a larger work that notices the ports of India too. It starts with a historical sketch of Colombo and then gives a survey of the commercial aspects of the city, whereby are offered small notes on many business and commercial ventures that flourished do to the sea going trade. This book is also an account of the historical and descriptive commercial and industrial facts, figures and resources with numerous illustrations. This book is a reprint of the 1928 edition.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About the Book:-The author reveals that this book is a most interesting description of the varied activities in Mauritius at the end of the 1880s and later. If you have never been to Mauritius, or have no interests acquainting you with the island, it is not unlikely that you cannot, without hesitation, locate its position on the map of the world; and, indeed, it may be that you cannot tell in which hemisphere it lies. Geography is not a subject in which the average person is very proficient, and Mauritius is synonymous with some vague far-distant place in the minds of many whose knowledge in other directions is both extensive and profound. This is a commemorative volume that, between its covers, gives a compressive over view of the Island. The chapters form a series of essays written by distinguished gentlemen who have had a long serving redaction with Mauritius. The chapters deal with the history, geology and topography, the extinct birds, the fauna, the economic flora, the Creole folklore, people and politics, scenery, sports, fishes, climate, the chamber of agriculture, the sugar industry, the aloe fiber industry, the ream industry, law and government, railways, ecclesiastical, education, architecture and the commercial Port Louis of Mauritius. This is a very informative and complete book on Mauritius at the turn of the century. The book is full of nice informative photographs that well illustrate the essays and a map. It was originally published in 1914. About the Author:-Allister Macmillan was a noted author and editor. He has 50 works in 157 publications in 1 language and 727 library holdings to his credit.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 2nd Edition. If you have never been to Mauritius, or have no interests acquainting you with the Island, it is not unlikely that you cannot, without hesitation, locate its position on the map of the world; and, indeed, it may be that you cannot tell in which hemisphere it lies. Geography is not a subject in which the average person is very proficient, and Mauritius is synonymous with some vague far-distant place in the minds of many whose knowledge in other directions is both extensive and profound. The scenery of Mauritius is of remarkable variety and beauty, and upon the great plains covered with the sugar-cane, with the mountains, blue and magnificent, hiding the sapphire sea. Probably in no other place in the world is there greater diversity of landscape and seascape of mountain, forest, river and waterfall loveliness - within so small a compass as in Mauritius. This book gives a compressive over view of the Island. The chapters form a series of essays written by distinguished gentlemen who have had a long serving redaction with Mauritius. The chapters cover the history, geology and topography, the extinct birds, the fauna, the economic flora, the Creole folklore, people and politics, scenery, sports, fishes, climate, the chamber of agriculture, the sugar industry, the aloe fiber industry, the ream industry, law and government, railways, ecclesiastical, education, architecture and the commercial Port Louis of Mauritius. The book is full of photographs that well illustrate the essays. Whatever may be the merits or demerits of this book, it is the first of the kind ever published concerning the Island and is a conscientious effort to present, in as interesting and useful a form as possible, all that relates to the colony and its people.…
