Product Information

Excerpt from The Journey of Augustus Raymond Margary: From Shanghae to Bhamo, and Back to Manwyne; From His Journals and Letters, With a Brief Biographical Preface: To Which Is Added a Concluding Chapters In January, 1875, the British mission, under Colonel Browne, appointed in the previous year by Lord Salisbury, at the instance of the Hourable Ashley Eden, Chief Commissioner of British Burmah, reached the city of Bhamo, the point of departure for the great overland trade route between India and China. The importance both politically and commercially of the re-opening of this route had long been ackwledged by the Indian Government. In 1868 a mission under Major Sladen had crossed the Burmese frontier and reached the city of Momien, in the Chinese province of Yunnan. It had returned from that point, unable to penetrate farther in consequence of the jealousy and opposition of both the Chinese and Mahommedan authorities, then struggling for mastery in Yunnan. Early in 1874 this civil war, which had for nineteen years desolated the splendid western provinces of China, came to an end by the utter overthrow of the Mahommedan rebels, and the authority of the emperor was restored up to the Burmese frontier. Thus a fresh opportunity arose, and was promptly seized on by our Indian Government. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
