Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Burma Such, in a word, is the story of Burma. To the Englishman it may be a drama; to the Burman it will ever be a pwe. It is a play of strong passions, of absorbing human interest. But its indescribable charm is derived from the shifting effects of Nature's scenery no less than from the play and interplay of human action. Before, therefore, we embark upon the story, let us, briefly and hurriedly, survey the scene of it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A Short History of Burma written by S. W. Cocks and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Burma In this brief History of Burma I have tried to give a clear account of what is really known of the early period, together with some notice of the traditions which possess historical interest. From the point at which the records become trustworthy I have endeavoured to put clearly and concisely all that the young student should know, without burdening his mind with unnecessary details. I hope that a work dealing with a country which has received so much attention in recent years from the traveller, artist, and litterateur, may not be without general interest. The discussion of disputed points, whether of fact or chronology, has-been avoided. Different versions of the Maharazawin, the Burmese Chronicles of the Kings; vary considerably. Generally I have accepted the dates assigned by Sir Arthur Phayre, to whose works I gladly acknowledge my indebtedness. In certain cases, where the Chinese accounts as given by Mr. Parker seem more trustworthy, I have preferred the dates as well as the facts given in the Chinese chronicles. For the later period I have relied mainly on Gray's Alaungpra Dynasty, the Gazetteer of British Burma (1880), and the Gazetteer of Upper Burma (1900).

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Burma: A Handbook of Practical Information It is believed that the book now offered is of a handy size, and gives much information about most subjects of interest in Burma. It is at any rate certain that the sections of Mr. Oates on the Fauna, of Captain Gage on the Flora, of Mr. Bruce on the Forests, of Mr. Richard on Means of Transport, and of Mr. Mariano on Music, could only be excelled by those who might have larger space allowed to them, and by very few even then.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tribes on the Frontier of Burma The chairman, lieut.-general sir edwin collen, after making announcements as to the future programme of the Society, said Very few words indeed will be necessary by way of introduction of the lecturer, for Sir Frederic Fryer is known to us all as a distinguished administrator, whose early years of service were passed in the Punjab, and who has been connected with the great province of Burma for more than twenty-one years. His first service there dates, I believe, from 1886, and although he returned for a short time to the Punjab, where he filled high offices with great distinction, the services of his later years were chiefly in Burma, where he presided over the administration for an unusually long period.

Download or read book Burma Under British Rule Classic Reprint written by Joseph Dautremer and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Burma Under British Rule It is always interesting to see ourselves as others see us. M. Dautremer was long enough Consul for France in Rangoon to get a good knowledge of the country, and he has written a most informing book about Burma for the benefit of his fellow-countrymen. He is a fearless critic, and does not hesitate to point out that Burma offers much that both the French Government and the settlers in Cochin-China and Tongking might copy with advantage. His book is much more like a consular report of the ideal kind than a mere description of the country. There have been very, many books about Burma, some of them mere picture-books with letterpress thrown in, like the flour that is required to keep, a plum-pudding together; others perilously like popularized encyclopaedias; quite a good many, the haphazard reflections of more or less observant and industrious fine-weather tourists, whose impressions are sometimes as diverting as the diary, of Li Hung-chang in Europe, but mostly without his wit and shrewdness.
