Excerpt from British Burma and Its People: Being Sketches of Native Manners, Customs, and Religion

The first intention of the writer was to endeavour in some degree to supply the want above alluded to, but in a form suitable only to the pages of a scientific journal, such as that of the Asiatic Society; but, since his return to Europe, he has been so much struck with the fact that while Burma, and the Chinese trade route through Burma, are often mentioned, the English public, even the educated and reading class, have as a rule the faintest possible idea of the country, or of the people.

Rese�a del editor

Excerpt from British Burma and Its People: Being Sketches of Native Manners, Customs, and Religion

The following pages owe their origin to a remark in the Report on the Census of British Burma in 1872, page 27:

'There are similarities of language, physical type, and traditions, which establish an ethnical affinity between all the races situated among the immense sweep of mountain country, which hems in Burma on three sides. But the evidences of this relationship have never yet been compendiously collated; and the industry, displayed in this direction by individual officers, whose duty has brought them into contact with one or other of the several tribes, has not yet borne fruit in the form of a general inquiry.
