First published in 1883, this is a comprehensive history of Burma, drawing on both Burmese written records and the narratives of European travellers and residents prior to the end of the 19th century. This classic history, first published in 1883, is the first English-language work to provide a comprehensive history of Burma, now Myanmar, based on Burmese sources. It incorporates the early history not only of Burma proper, but also those of the surrounding kingdoms of Pegu, Taungu, Tenasserim, and Arakan, comparing when possible differing accounts of events as described
