viii Preface. Burman history is apocryphal.' This is a most incorrect description of the Burmese pagodas ; and, moreover, the priests, or rather monks, never live in or under the pagodas, but in regular monasteries ; and the builders of the temples of Paghan are well known. A province such as British Burma, which, during the twenty years between 1855 (that is, two years after its annexation) and 1875-76, has increased in / annual revenue from 532,100?. to l,527,296i. ; in its commerce from 4,856,400L to 14,665,286Z. ; and in its population from 1,274,640 to 2,896,368 souls : a province, which is now looked on by the commercial world as the trade high-road into the vast regions ,| of Western China, we think deserves to be a little better known to all classes. Of the works which have been published on Burma since our occupation, there are four of the highest value. Tirst comes Colonel Yule's magnificent folio, An ' Embassy to the Court of Ava ; ' but this only records the manners and customs of the people, as they struck the traveller in Upper Burma during a stay of a month or so, and, interesting and most valuable as it is, contains little allusion to our own provinces.
Preface. ix Dr. F. Mason's ' Burmah ; its People and Natural Productions,' is a scientific rather than a popular descriptive work, and is more a book of reference than of general reading. Bishop Bigandet's 'The Life or Legend of Gaudama, with Annotations,' contains a clear and almost exhaustive summary of Burman Buddhism, but, naturally, treats of no other subject. Lastly, Sir A. Phayre's valuable * Histories of the Burman Eace,' ' of Arracan,' and ' of Pegu,' give all that is known of these nations, in an historical point of view, from their own and from foreign records ; but these are hidden away in the pages of a scientific journal, and are, moreover, too diffuse for the ordinary reader. I trust, therefore, that it will be allowed, that there is room for such a book as I have attempted. It is offered as the result of an experience derived from thirteen years of close intercourse with the people of Burma, both officially and privately. How far it will supply the want above alluded to, must be left to the indulgent verdict of my readers.
