Our Burmese Wars And Relations With Burma PDF Download

Excerpt from Our Burmese Wars and Relations With Burma: Being an Abstract of Military and Political Operations, 1824-25-26, and 1852-53, With Various Local, Statistical, and Commercial Information, and a Summary of Events From 1826 to 1879, Including a Sketch of King Theebau's Priogress It seems almost superfluous to ask the attention of intelligent Britons to a region little known among them, but one, most assuredly, that has "a greater future before it than any country in Asia." Experience, however, has shown the necessity of so doing; for if we do not yet nearly realise the immense interests we possess in our old and "loved India" - the most splendid dominion under the sun - how is it to be expected we should do so in our comparatively new portion of Chin-India? That people often require to be reminded as well as informed, is another reason for the appearance of this volume, the greater portion of which is devoted to the operations of our Burmese Wars, and much of the remainder to the bright and hopeful effect. As regards the Military portion, the object of the present "Abstract" is two-fold. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
