CHAPTER XVII
BURMA (1531-1782)
For Burmese sources, see note at beginning of bibliography, vol. III, p. 656.
Inscriptions are rarer than in the period covered by that chapter, epigraphy
apparently yielding, with the spread of literacy, to palm-leaf writing. Hmannan
Yazawin stops with the fall of Ava in 1752, at which point the narrative is
taken up by the portentously verbose Konbaungset Yazawin of nearly 2000
pages, published in 1905 by a Burmese officer in the provincial civil service; it
is a compilation from official records and has not been translated; for its
quality, see Harvey, History of Burma, p. 355. Alaungpaya Ayedawpon is a
chronicle-biography of Alaungpaya.
Siamese material is hard to get. A glance at Jones, Siamese History and S.
Smith, History of Siam, which are translations of Siamese royal chronicles, will
show the quality of the record; see also p. 288, n. I. Other sources are Ander-
son, Frankfurter, Pallegoix, Ravenswaay. The best general history is Wood,
and he has in addition furnished me with a MS. précis of references in the
Siamese chronicles to Burma.
For Arakanese sources, see Harvey, History of Burma, pp. xviii-xix.
For Shan, Talaing, Chinese, see vol. III, p. 656, and Warry.
The European sources speak for themselves. Hall, Early English Intercourse
with Burma, is the best authority on its subject.
