GAZETTEER OF BURMA, VOL. I & II

Vol. I contains details of Burma's geography, geology, ethnology, customs and manners, art and agriculture, and history from the earliest times until the end of the Second-Anglo-Burmese war. Vol. II comprises a Gazetteer of all villages, districts, mountains, and rivers-leaving out not even a small hamlet or a hillock. A result of years of painstaking labors the Gazetteer draws upon rare sources of indisputable authority. It is a masterpiece of 'administrative detail' and organized purposeful research and provides invaluable reference and resource materials for administrators, research workers, tourists and all wanting to know more about Burma.
