The Coffee Planter Of Ceylon (1870)

The Coffee Planter of Ceylon is a book originally published in 1870 by William Sabonadiere. The book is a memoir of the author's time as a coffee planter in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) during the mid-19th century. Sabonadiere was a British planter who arrived in Ceylon in 1848 and spent over a decade working on coffee plantations in the country. The book is divided into chapters that cover different aspects of Sabonadiere's life as a planter, including his arrival in Ceylon, the challenges he faced in starting a coffee plantation, the management of the plantation, and the social and cultural aspects of life in Ceylon at the time. The book provides a detailed account of the coffee industry in Ceylon during the mid-19th century, including the methods used to grow and harvest coffee, the labor practices on the plantations, and the economic and political factors that affected the industry. In addition to its historical value, The Coffee Planter of Ceylon is also a personal memoir that provides insight into the life of a British planter in Ceylon during the colonial period. Sabonadiere describes his relationships with the local people, his experiences with the natural environment, and his reflections on the cultural differences between the British and the Ceylonese. Overall, The Coffee Planter of Ceylon is a fascinating and informative book that provides a unique perspective on the history of Ceylon and the coffee industry during the colonial period.With An Appendix, Containing Various Extracts And Letters From Other Authority, Bearing On The Same Subject.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
