Abstract
THE predominant impression produced by a perusal of this handy little book is one of astonishment at the amount of information packed within so small a compass. Dr. Coggin Brown possesses the happy facility of condensing facts and preserving at the same time, even in a work of this kind, an easy style and a connected narrative. The bird's-eye view of the situation, occupying no more than a single page of the introduction, is a snapshot as complete as it is harmonious of the position of mineral development in the Indian Empire, in which is included Burma.
