Book excerpt: In December 1852, at the conclusion of the second Anglo-Burmese War, the British annexed the southern and coastal regions of Burma (known as Lower Burma). Pagan Min, and later his brother Mindon Min, continued to rule Upper Burma. In 1855, Arthur Phayre, the British commissioner for the annexed territories, visited the court of Ava in Upper Burma as part of an effort to improve relations with Mindon. Henry Yule was secretary to Phayre and accompanied him on the mission. This work, written by Yule, is a modified version of the mission's report, based on Phayre's journals and Yule's own observations and impressions. The work includes detailed maps and drawings, and remains an extraordinarily valuable source for the study of the history, geography, arts, religion, and culture of Burma. A long chapter is devoted to the ruins of the ancient city of Bagan (then known as Pagan) and its temples, as they were found by the mission in 1855.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Narrative of the Mission Sent by the Governor-General of India to the Court of Ava in 1855: With Notices of the Country, Government, and People In the beginning of 1855, a year and a half after the termination of the last Burmese War, the present King of Ava sent a mission of compliment, with presents, to the Governor - General, Lord Dnlhousie. His Lordship promised that the compliment should be returned, and in the summer of the same year Major Arthur Phayre, the de facto Governor of the New Province of Pegu, was appointed Envoy. I had the honour to be named as his secretary, and I was given to understand that one of the chief duties of the office would be the preparation of a narrative of the mission for publication. Such a narrative was prepared accordingly, and a few copies were priutcd at Calcutta for the use of the Government. Their warm approval having been accorded, as well as that of others entitled to speak with authority (among whom it is gratifying to me to name my venerable predecessor iu this field, Mr. Crawfurd), the work, after undergoing some retrenchment and rc-arrangciucut, is published in its present form. The task of compilation was an arduous one, and was completed during the tenure of a laborious office totally unconnected with the subject. What may be humorously called the leisure hours of a Calcutta official's life, - such hours os he may redeem from meals and sleep, between 8 P.M. and 10 a.m. - were devoted to it for some twelve mouths; besides, I fear, not a few borrowed from more professional duties, thanks to the kind forbearance of a chief, under whom it has been my pride and happiness to work for many years, and in various branches of the public service. To several of my friends and comrades on the journey my hearty' acknowledgments are due for their assistance; chiefly to the Envoy, Major Phayre, to Mr. Oldham, and to Major Grant Allan of the Madras Army.
