Four Years in Upper Burma (Classic Reprint) by W. R. Winston Pdf

Excerpt from Four Years in Upper Burma I have endeavoured to draw as faithful and accurate a picture as possible of the country and people, and I have tried to show, from the standpoint of a sympathetic but impartial witness, what the annexation of an Oriental country like Burma really means, what are its immediate results, and what are the many strong points and the few weak points in our rule.

Burmese Wonderland by C. M. Enriquez Pdf

Excerpt from Burmese Wonderland: A Tale of Travel in Lower and Upper Burma Yesterday, while I was planning the arrangement of these pages, the relics in the Arakan Pagoda were seen to fly up towards the spire, and hang there, glittering about the crown. The omen is surely propitious. This morning a Burmese friend of mine, while bathing in the Irrawaddy, was seized round the waist by a Ye Bilu, or Water God, which would have dragged him away, had not the neighbours rushed in and driven off the River Nat. Maung Gyi himself has since confirmed the story. "My Lord has correctly heard the facts, except that the Ye Bilu also went off with my lungyi leaving me 'a modest man' to reach home in extreme confusion." There are two Burmas. There is one with Diarchy which is dull enough, but affords sport to quite a number of people. The other is half esoteric. It is just a Wonderland. Like Alice, you can follow a White Rabbit down into it with the pleasurable assurance of exciting adventures. Not long ago a little bird suddenly began to bet; and a giant mushroom, far larger than Alice's, caused a thrill of excitement.

Burma (Classic Reprint) by Herbert Thirkel White Pdf

Excerpt from Burma War conditions and consequent war service are responsible for the interruption of this series of Provincial Geographies. Subsequent reforms in the political constitution of India necessitated further delay; but, whether the Government of Burma remains under the Governor-General of India or becomes answerable direct to the King-Emperor, the Province must necessarily remain a geographical and political, as it is a distinct ethnographical, unit - a Burmese nation. For this, as for previous volumes of the same series, the author has been chosen because his long and intimate experience of the Province enables him to present in true perspective a thumb-nail sketch of the land and its people. In this respect there are two living authorities who stand in a class apart - Shwe Yoe (Sir George Scott), whose writings have brought to the West a humanitarian picture of the "Silken East," and the author of A Civil Servant in Burma, whose service of 33 years brought him into intimate touch with every phase of Burmese life and administration, from 1878, when the northern limit of British control was restricted to the Province of Pegu, through the third Burmese war of 1885, when King Thebaw's misrule of Upper Burma was abruptly terminated, and the subsequent years of pacification and economic development, till he retired as Lieutenant-Governor of the whole Province in 1910. The Cambridge University Press is fortunate in finding Sir Herbert Thirkell White with the leisure to review from afar the land which he served with affection and recognized distinction.

Big-Game Shooting in Upper Burma (Classic Reprint) by George Patrick Evans Pdf

Excerpt from Big-Game Shooting in Upper Burma For the rest, I have only to say that I make no pretensions to the possession of literary talent, and beg my readers to excuse the lack of style which I fear the following pages will too surely portray. But I would ask them to believe that everything the book contains is the result of my own observations and experiences, and that I have in no way culled from others either descriptions or facts which I have been unable to corroborate. I am indebted to the American Baptist Mission Press, Rangoon, for the excellent map which accompanies this volume. It is hoped that the list of shooting localities at the end of the book, and the glossary of Burmese words likely to occur daily in the jungle, will be of use to those who are new to the country.

A People at School (Classic Reprint) by H. Fielding Hall Pdf

Excerpt from A People at School Some years ago I wrote The Soul of a People. It was an attempt to understand the Burmese, to sec them as they do themselves, to describe their religion and its effect on them. This book is also concerned with the Burmese. But it is from another point of view. That was of feelings and emotions and ideals, of the inner life as they understand it. It was individual, of man and woman. This is of the outer life, of success and failure, of progress and retrogression judged as nations judge each other. It is of the Burmese as a race, or nation. Both arc, I think, true points of view. And although in this book it may seem that there is much that is not in accord with the former one, that is not I think really so. For life is complex. It has many sides, it must have many ideals. And though one ideal be opposed to another, they may yet both be good and both be true. We can never get far enough away, get high enough up to see life whole. If we could do so, all these lesser truths, all these lesser ideals would blend into the great Truth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A Short History of Burma (Classic Reprint) by S. W. Cocks Pdf

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.

Burma Under British Rule and Before, Vol. 1 of 2 (Classic Reprint) by John Nisbet Pdf

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.

The Story of Burma (Classic Reprint) by Ernest George Harmer Pdf

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.
