Abstract
EIGHT years ago, on account of the depression in the coffee industry of Ceylon, the prospects of the colony were of a sufficiently gloomy character. A great improvement has, however, been effected by the partial substitution of tea and cinchona for coffee, and by the general attention given to cacao, cardamoms, and other subsidiary subjects. Ceylon has also been fortunate in possessing a practical scientific institution in the Botanical Gardens of the colony; and its local press is enterprising and well-informed.
