Ten Years In Burma is a book written by Julius Smith in 1902, detailing his experiences and observations during his ten-year stay in Burma. The book is a memoir that provides a vivid account of the author’s life in Burma, including his travels, work, and interactions with the local people. Smith was a British civil servant who worked in various parts of Burma, and his book offers a unique perspective on the country during the colonial era.The book covers a wide range of topics, including the history and culture of Burma, the political situation, the economy, and the daily life of the people. Smith writes about his travels to different parts of the country, including remote regions that were rarely visited by Europeans at the time. He also describes his interactions with the local people, including the various ethnic groups that make up the Burmese population.One of the main themes of the book is the impact of British colonialism on Burma. Smith is critical of some of the policies and practices of the British administration, particularly in relation to the treatment of the local people. He also provides insights into the resistance movements that were emerging at the time, as Burmese nationalists began to push back against British rule.Overall, Ten Years In Burma is a fascinating and informative account of a pivotal period in Burma’s history. It offers a unique perspective on the country and its people, and provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics of colonialism and resistance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
