R. de Silva\u2019s<\/strong><strong>\u00a0NOTE on the inauguration of\u00a0<em>The Ceylon Journal<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The inauguration of the\u00a0<em>Ceylon Journal\u00a0<\/em>should be a cause for celebration. As I understand it, it is a publication designed to offer a wide perspective on Sri Lanka to the substantial group of English speakers in Sri Lanka, as well as to those living in other parts of the world who are interested in the country.\u00a0 The objective is to periodically publish issues of the journal with articles\u00a0<strong>providing new information on a variety of subjects including archaeology, art, architecture, culinary arts, folklore, history, language and literature, law, music, natural history, social and economic conditions, sports and wildlife.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">One might argue that this function is fulfilled today through a number of English language academic journals. A few among them, such as the\u00a0<em>University of Colombo Review, Kalyani: Journal of the University of Kelaniya,\u00a0<\/em>the\u00a0<em>KDU Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies<\/em>\u00a0and the<em>\u00a0Colombo Journal of Multi-Disciplinary Research,\u00a0<\/em>cover a wide range of subjects. Others such as the\u00a0<em>Ceylon Journal of Science, Ceylon Medical Journal, Cities People Places: An International Journal on Urban\u00a0<\/em><em>Environments, Colombo Business Journal, Engineer: Journal of the Institution of Engineers, Sri Lankan Journal of Banking and Finance\u00a0<\/em>and the<em>\u00a0Sri Lanka Journal of Forensic Medicine, Science &amp; Law,\u00a0<\/em>to name just a few, cover restricted subject areas. However, these journals all cater to a limited number of readers in the academia and in various professions. Their content is designed for experts in the field and generally, articles in them do not appeal to the general reader.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Providing new information in a variety of fields at a non-specialist level is also provided in a restricted fashion by newspapers such as the\u00a0<em>Sunday Observer,\u00a0<\/em>the\u00a0<em>Sunday Times,\u00a0<\/em>the\u00a0<em>Daily Mirror\u00a0<\/em>and the\u00a0<em>Daily News,<\/em>\u00a0which occasionally publish well-written articles on a number of topics. However, such articles vary in quality and are scattered among competing news sheets, copies of which are discarded within a few days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">What the\u00a0<em>Ceylon Journal\u00a0<\/em>is designed to provide is (in the words of it\u2019s Editor-in-chief)\u00a0<strong>a regular supply of short readable pieces which \u2018delve into our past and explore our rich heritage to enrich our identity and inspire our people to create a better Sri Lanka.\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0As the editor in chief puts it the journal will include \u2018serious work but written in a style that will appeal to the general discerning reader. We encourage our writers to write on subjects that are less discussed and would be of great interest to the specialists as well as the non-specialists.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The first issue of the journal has more than satisfied these objectives. It is a collection of articles of excellent quality covering issues ranging from art and cartography to banknotes, court cases and cricket. The authors included some who started out as writers, but there were also others who are well known in their fields. This combination should give us\u00a0<strong>the hope<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>that the journal will<\/strong>\u00a0emerge as a publication that will attract the attention of a wide group of readers and\u00a0<strong>make a valued contribution to reasoned inquiry and discussion on the legacy of Sri Lanka\u2019s past and possible directions for its future.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>Prof. C.
