Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos.

Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

(This is an early 20th century history that provides insig...)
This is an early 20th century history that provides insight into British colonialism, specifically the occupation of Burma. From the preface: “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, 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 scheme which has been followed was to treat each subject comprehensively in a chapter by itself. One drawback to this method is the necessity for occasional repetitions and references to previous pages, but the advantages seemed to outweigh this disadvantage. The French position in Indo-China has of course been dealt with at considerable length. But even since the chapter dealing with "Britain and France in Further India and Western China" has been passed for press, matters affecting French railway enterprise in south-western China have again advanced. The latest account of the existing position will be found in an article on " The French Railway into Yun-nan " in the Times of July 22, 1901, to which the attention of those specially interested in this subject may be drawn.”

(Excerpt from Burma Under British Rule and Before, Vol. 2 ...)
Excerpt from Burma Under British Rule and Before, Vol. 2 There can be doubt that one of the greatest of commercial problems in the near future concerns itself with the opening up of China to trade. And no country can possibly be more affected by this problem than Great Britain, whose commercial interests in China at the present moment bulk much larger than those of any other foreign nation. Whilst the South African troubles remain unsettled, progress must almost necessarily be retarded in pushing British interests in south-western China; but certain aspects of the problem are so intimately connected with Burma as to require careful consideration, and particularly with regard to the much-talked-of proposal to extend the north-eastern branch of the Burma railway system across the mountains and valleys of Yunnan to some objective on the Yangtse river. Apart from the purely commercial point of view, this project is so closely concerned with political and strategic motives that it is hardly possible to consider and criticise it adequately without first of all taking a purview of the affairs of Britain and France in Indo-China, and giving a summary of the chief events out of which the existing positions of these two Powers have arisen. While Britain was gradually, through force of circumstances, acquiring the Burmese territories after the first (1826), second (1852), and third (1885) Burmese wars, France has during the last generation and a half possessed herself of a still larger territory on the eastern side of the Further Indian peninsula.

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 endeavor 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 plan of the book was sketched early in 1896, and several chapters of it were then written, but press of official work prevented its completion till the leisure of furlough from 1898-1900. In the meantime the official Gazetteer of Upper Burma has been published, which also deals with many of the matters here treated of. The two works, however, cannot in any way clash. The one is an official record, the other is an independent publication meant for such of the general public as may feel an interest in Burma or in its administration by the British. If there be any similarity between portions of the two books with regard to matters specially affecting Upper Burma, this can only be due to the fact that the actual historical data have been obtained from the same sources, because neither author has yet seen the work of the other."
