Excerpt from Christian Missions in Burma Strange as it may seem, this book stands alone among the many which have been written on Burma. Others, and those not a few, have been written in recent years from the point of view of the traveller, of the experienced Government official, and of the Englishman who has fallen in love with this sunny land and its lighthearted people. But this is the first book, as distinguished from leaflets or articles, written on Burma by an English Churchman from his own true standpoint, viz. that of a missionary, in whose mind stands first and foremost the truth that for all mankind the Son of God took flesh, and whose first and foremost interest lies in the presentation of that truth to them. The first Burmese war was in 1825. Nearly ninety years have gone by since it gave our nation possession of a large portion of the land, and placed on our Church a special responsibility for the evangelization of its peoples.
