By J. G. SCOTT (“Shway Yoe”).
“Before going to help to govern them, Mr. Scott has once more written
on the Burmese.... Mr. Scott claims to have covered the whole ground,
to show Burma as it was, is, and will be; and as there is nobody
competent to criticise him except himself, we shall not presume to
say how far he has succeeded. What, however, may be asserted with
absolute confidence is, that he has written a bright, readable, and
useful book.”--_Saturday Review_, March 27.
“Very lively and readable.”--_Pall Mall Gazette._
“The author knows what he writes about.”--_St. Stephen’s Review._
“There is a good deal of curious reading in the book.”--_Literary
World._
“The book is amusing and instructing, and Mr. George Redway, the
publisher, will have done the public and himself a service.”--_Court
Journal._
“The print is clear, and the binding in excellent
taste.”--_Bookseller._
“Evidently full of genuine information.”--_Society._
“A handy guide to Burma, as readable as it is accurate.”--_Globe._
“Mr. Scott should have called this volume ‘A Book for Members of
Parliament.’”--_London and China Telegraph._
“The sketch of Burmese cosmogony and mythology is very
interesting.”--_Nature._
“A competent historian. He sketches Burma and the Burmans with minute
fidelity.”--_Daily Chronicle._
“Probably no Englishman knows Burma better than Mr. J. G.
Scott.”--_Contemporary Review._
“An excellent description both of land and people.”--_Contemporary
Review._
“Most interesting.”--_St. James’s Gazette._
“Shway Yoe is a graphic writer ... no one can supply this information
better than Mr. Scott.”--_Asiatic Quarterly Review._
