has abstract	Henry Charles Sirr (1807 - 1872) fou un advocat, diplomàtic i escriptor britànic. Com a procurador dels tribunals va obtenir plaça al Lincoln's Inn de Londres i, finalment, va entrar en servei al govern, treballant com advocat adjunt de la reina al circuit meridional de Ceilan (actual Sri Lanka) a mitjans del segle xix. Era fill d'Eliza D'Arcy i Henry Charles Sirr, policia en cap de Dublín. El seu germà gran va ser el sacerdot Joseph D'Arcy Sirr. Se'l coneix potser millor per haver escrit Ceylon and the Cingalese, un llibre publicat en dos volums el 1850, que cobreix "la història, el govern, la religió, les antiguitats, les institucions, els ingressos i les capacitats de l'illa, i un informe complet de la darrera revolta; amb anècdotes que il·lustren els usos i costums de la gent". El llibre va ser considerat àmpliament com un relat autoritzada de la vida cotidiana de Ceilan. Va ser citat per Jules Verne a la seva clàssica obra Vint mil llegües de viatge submarí, en el capítol 2, el narrador del llibre, el prof. Aronnax, diu al lector que, mentre cercava una descripció de Ceilan a la biblioteca del capità Nemo, a bord del , "vaig trobar un llibre de HC Sirr, Esq, titulat Ceilan i el singalès". Sirr també va exercir com a vicecònsol britànic a Hong Kong des de 1843. Va descriure les seves experiències en un altre llibre, China and the Chinese, subtitulat: Their religion, character, customs and manufactures; the evils arising from the opium trade; with a glance at our religious, moral, political and commercial intercourse with the country ("La seva religió, caràcter, costums i manufactures; els mals derivats del tràfic d'opi; amb una mirada a les nostres relacions morals, polítiques, religioses i comercials amb el país"). El llibre ofereix importants punts de vista contemporanis sobre la naturalesa del comerç d'opi i el contraban endèmic que es va dur a terme a la regió del Riu Perla. (ca) Henry Charles Sirr (1807-1872) was a British lawyer, diplomat and writer. He graduated at Trinity College, Dublin and became a barrister at Lincoln's Inn, London. Eventually he went into government service, working as Deputy Queen's Advocate for the Southern Circuit of Ceylon (modern Sri Lanka) in the mid-19th century. He was the son of Henry Charles Sirr, of Dublin and Eliza D'Arcy. His older brother was Rev . He is perhaps best known for writing Ceylon and the Cingalese, a book published in two volumes in 1850 covering "their History, Government and Religion; the Antiquities, Institutions, Revenue and Capabilities of the Island; and a full Account of the late Rebellion; with Anecdotes illustrating the Manners and Customs of the People." The book was widely regarded as an authoritative account of life in Ceylon. It wascited by Jules Verne in his classic Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea; in chapter 2, the book's narrator Professor Aronnax tells the reader that while searching for a description of Ceylon in Captain Nemo's library aboard the Nautilus, "I found a book by H.C. Sirr, Esq, entitled Ceylon and the Cingalese." He came Secretary of the Anglo-Portuguese Commission from 1842 to 1843 and then served as British Vice-Consul at Hong Kong in 1843. He described his experiences in another book, China and the Chinese, subtitled: "Their religion, character, customs and manufactures; the evils arising from the opium trade; with a glance at our religious, moral, political and commercial intercourse with the country." The book provides important contemporary insights into the nature of the opium trade and the endemic smuggling that took place in the Pearl River region. Sirr, along with Paul Ivy Sterling was one of the first two barristers admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of Hong Kong at its first sitting on 1 October 1844. In 1859 he met and married Louis Rix in London. (en)
