dc.description.abstractJohn Davy born on 24 May 1790 in Penzance, United Kingdom was not only a Physician of the armed forces of the British Ceylon during the 19th century but also an excellent scholar and traveler at the time. His excursions in the interior of Ceylon are well elaborated and interesting to read. It provides a vivid description related to the socio-cultural history as well as exclusive landscapes in the Island.
