First published in 1909, at the midpoint of British occupation,
this volume sought to provide the first popular history of Burma
(now Myanmar) for British businessmen and visitors otherwise put
off by difficulties of translation and understanding. Having lived
in Burma for forty years, arriving between the second and third
Anglo-Burmese wars, J. Stuart sought to rectify the reduction of
Burmese history to barbarism, comparing the struggle for supremacy
between historical Burmese factions to the combined history of
France, England and Scotland up to James I. To that end, this
volume contains a detailed, chronological history from A.D. 639
until 1900 along with 15 illustrations.
