Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About the Book:-The author reveals that in this rare book, the chapters descriptive of the structure and habits of the wild elephant are reprinted for the sixth time from a larger work, published originally in 1859. Since the appearance of the first edition, many corrections and much a…dditional matter have been supplied to the writer, chiefly from India and Ceylon, and will be found embodied in the following pages. To one of these in particular he feels bound to direct attention. In the course of a more enlarged essay on the zoology of Ceylon, amongst other proofs of a geological origin for that island, distinct from that of the adjacent continent of India, as evidenced by peculiarities in the flora and fauna of each respectively. Through the survey work of Temminck a new species was added in this version, to which the natives give the name of 'gadjahf'. This species is perfectly intermediate between the Indian and African, especially in the shape of the skull, and will certainly put an end to the distinction between Elephas and Loxodon. The book is the product of extensive research of the species. The author has preserved the fine illustrations from oblivion which he considers his pious duty in the interest of the script. The book is certainly an indispensable one for the students, researchers and readers. About the Author:-Sir James Emerson Tennent, 1st Baronet FRS, born James Emerson, was a British politician and traveller born in Ireland. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society on 5 June 1862. He was knighted and appointed colonial secretary of Ceylon in 1845, where he remained till 1850. While he was there, an economic depression in the United Kingdom severely affected the local coffee and cinnamon industry. Planters and merchants clamoured for a reduction of export duties. Tennent therefore recommended to Earl Grey, Secretary of State for Colonies in London that taxation should be radically shifted from indirect taxation to direct taxation, which proposal was accepted. It was decided to abolish the export duties on coffee and reduce the export duty on cinnamon leaving a deficit of £40,000 Sterling which was to be met by direct taxes on the people. This was one of the causes of the Matale Rebellion of 1848. Tennent wrote Belgium in 1840 (1841), and Wine: its Duties and Taxation (1855), Sketches of the Natural History of Ceylon (1861), The Wild Elephant and The Method Of Capturing It in Ceylon (1867), and was a contributor to magazines and a frequent correspondent of Notes and Queries. He is commemorated in the scientific name of a species of Sri Lankan lizard, Ceratophora tennentii. The Title 'The Wild Elephant & The Method Of Capturing And Taming It In Ceylon written/authored/edited by J. Emerson Tennent', published in the year 2020. The ISBN 9788121242219 is assigned to the Paperback version of this title. This book has total of pp. 226 (Pages). The publisher of this title is Gyan Publishing House. This Book is in English. The subject of this book is History. Size of the book is 13.34 x 21.59 cms Vol: 226.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of the wild elephant, specifically as it existed in Ceylon (modern Sri Lanka). The author, a keen observer, draws upon his extensive travels through the island's mountains and forests to present a wealth of information and anecdotes about the c…reatureââ â¢s habits, behaviours, and its place in the natural order. The book also touches on the practice of capturing and training wild elephants, providing a glimpse into the complex relationship between humans and these intelligent and powerful animals. The authorââ â¢s detailed descriptions and insightful observations challenge common misconceptions about elephants, particularly the notion of their innate hostility towards other creatures. Through a mix of firsthand accounts and scholarly research, the author argues for a more nuanced understanding of the elephantââ â¢s natural disposition, revealing it as a creature of peaceful coexistence rather than inherent aggression. He also explores the intriguing question of the elephantââ â¢s tusks, comparing their presence in the African elephant to their scarcity in the Ceylon elephant, suggesting that their purpose and function may be far more complex than previously understood. The book's exploration of the elephant's habits and characteristics offers a compelling look at the natural world of a creature that has long fascinated and inspired humans. The author's vivid descriptions and insightful analysis make this book a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of this majestic animal. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
