To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The domestic architecture of Ceylon is of a most unassuming character, owing possibly in a great measure to legislation, as during the Kandian monarchy the chiefs were only permitted to build or inhabit dwellings of one story in height ; none save the chiefs and nobles were allowed to use tiles in roofing their dwellings, the mass of the people being compelled to thatch them, and plaited cocoa- nut leaves were then, and are still generally used for the purpose. The abodes of the chiefe and mood...liars are built in gardens, and are in the form of a hollow square ; the front and back of the dwel- ling being protected from the sun^s rays by veran- dahs, which are supported by wooden pillars. The eating-room usually runs across the full width of the house, on either side of which are the smaller and sleeping apartments, which communicate one with the other. The domestic ofiSces and servants' apartments being small detached buildings, which are situated in the rear of the dwelling.
These habitations are generally built of kabook, their floors are composed of chunam, and the wallsi are whitewashed ; under the native kings, however, lime was not permitted to be used in any buildings, save the temples and royal palaces.
