Product Description
This is one of the earliest accounts in English of the conditions in these - at that stage newly "acquired" - possessions of the British Empire, as recorded on three forestry inspection tours in the 1850s. As a forester, Abreu gives detailed accounts of the forest and other vegetation of the areas traversed, but he also writes of the villages and their peoples. He concludes with a detailed listing of the flora and fauna of Pegu.
