BURMA: AS IT WAS, AS IT IS, AND AS IT WILL BE.

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.
