Excerpt from A Short History of Burma In this brief History of Burma I have tried to give a clear account of what is really known 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 litterateur, may not be without general interest. The discussion of disputed points, whether of fact or chronology, has-been avoided. Different versions of the Maharazawin, the Burmese Chronicles of the Kings; vary considerably. Generally I have accepted the dates assigned by Sir Arthur Phayre, to whose works I gladly acknowledge my indebtedness. In certain cases, where the Chinese accounts as given by Mr. Parker seem more trustworthy, I have preferred the dates as well as the facts given in the Chinese chronicles. For the later period I have relied mainly on Gray's Alaungpra Dynasty, the Gazetteer of British Burma (1880), and the Gazetteer of Upper Burma (1900).
