ABSTRACT
Published in PW II, pp. 246–54. For De Quincey’s review of J. W. Bennett’s Ceylon and Its Capabilities (1843), published in Blackwood’s in November 1843, see Vol. 14, pp. 155–75. From the published review, it is not clear where this ‘omitted’ text might have figured. Probably it was discarded at an early stage and the article then evolved without it.
