Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Burma Through the Centuries It is astonishing how little either the Burmese themselves, or Europeans who have been long resident in the country, know of the history of Burma. Although I have lived in Burma for nearly forty years, it was only when I had occasion, last year, to write a brief sketch of that history that I realised how little I really knew about it. At the same time I discovered the cause of the prevailing ignorance. I was unable to find any book which gave a clear and intelligible account of what is really known. The late Sir Arthur Phayre's book was the only one I could discover in which the attempt is made to give a complete account of Burma through the ages. But, valuable as that book is, it is scarcely the book which the business man of scant leisure resident in the country, or the visitor, is likely to read. For one thing, to the European reader, at least, the profusion of native names introduced is very confusing. It is difficult to remember names so unfamiliar, and one is constantly turning back to see who this or the other person is. The difficulty is increased by the change of spelling which has since been introduced in the matter of Burmese words and names. Then there is a wealth of detail in matters of comparatively little importance, taken often from Burmese sources, on which but little dependence can be placed, and long accounts of ruthless wars, of wholesale murders, and of horrible cruelties, which become very tiresome.

Book excerpt: First published in 1909, at the midpoint of British occupation, this volume sought to provide the first popular history of Burma (now Myanmar) for British businessmen and visitors otherwise put off by difficulties of translation and understanding. Having lived in Burma for forty years, arriving between the second and third Anglo-Burmese wars, J. Stuart sought to rectify the reduction of Burmese history to barbarism, comparing the struggle for supremacy between historical Burmese factions to the combined history of France, England and Scotland up to James I. To that end, this volume contains a detailed, chronological history from A.D. 639 until 1900 along with 15 illustrations.

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 nown 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 litte'rateur, may not be without general interest.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Among Pagodas and Fair Ladies: An Account of a Tour Through Burma The author of these bright sketches succeeds in rendering her subjects attractive even to those who are already familiar with them; and this is a kind of success which is not often attained. She came to Burma on a visit, and fell in love with the country and people at first sight. This accounts for the freshness and warmth of her colouring and her artist sympathy with the little things that concern the people. She has caught their quaint picturesque ways and pourtrayed them with fidelity. Text and pictures are true to life. I have enjoyed the little book, and so will all those who read it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Burma Under British Rule and Before, Vol. 1 of 2 Many books are now written about distant lands by those who have only a very slight acquaintance with them, and such usually form very pleasant reading. Burma has received a fair share of this sort of attention from casual visitors, but the present work is not one of these books written in lighter vein. It is intended to be a comprehensive treatise on one of the richest provinces of our Indian Empire, and it embodies knowledge and experience acquired there in a service extending over nearly twenty-five years. During that time great political, commercial, and social changes have taken place throughout Burma and among the Burmese, and the main objects of this book are to describe these, and to show how they have already affected and are bound still more to affect the land and the people. It tries to describe the latter as they were, I and as they now are. The historical sketch of Burma has been confined solely to what is necessary in order to understand the position of affairs at different times. The author feels that some explanation is needed for the appearance of these volumes. The work was undertaken for the simple reason that no comprehensive book has been published about Burma since it came entirely under British rule in 1886, although the record of the material progress achieved seems well worthy of being submitted to the public in some such convenient form. Matters affecting the life and habits of the Burmese have also been treated in a way which it is hoped may be of use to those going to spend the best years of their lives in Burma, and this is the reason why so many Burmese terms have been introduced and explained. An endeavour has at the same time been made to indicate various commercial openings for investment of capital, because the development of a rich Indian province ought surely to be worthy of consideration by British capitalists.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Burma Under British Rule and Before, Vol. 2 In 1858, Cochin China was invaded by the French, and Saigon was taken in the following year, seven years after we had permanently acquired Rangoon; and in 1867, the whole of Cochin China came under French rule. In 1863, a Protectorate was established over Cambodia, proving the prelude to annexation in 1884. Hanoi was taken in 1873, and a Protectorate asserted over Tonquin, which was in turn followed by annexa tion. Annam became protected in 1874, and was ceded entirely by the franco-chinese treaty Of 1884. Hostilities breaking out again, Tonquin was annexed in 1885. These vast acquisitions, forming an empire larger than France, were, however, merely a base upon which to found schemes for further annexations towards the west and south. Having despoiled China sufficiently for the time being, French attention was next given to encroach ments on Siam as soon as military affairs in Tonquin permitted of this.
