Among the Burmans: A Record of Fifteen Years of Work and its Fruitage

A missionary offers a fifteen-year first-person account of daily life, customs, and religious practices in Burma, blending travel observations, ethnographic sketches, and anecdotes. Chapters move from initial arrival and adaptation through immersion in local dress and habits, examinations of Buddhist beliefs, caste and outcast groups, and profiles of major ethnic peoples. The narrative details practical challenges of ministry, cultural friction, rites, festivals, and colonial-era institutions, and reflects on social change, resistance, and the outcomes of Christian mission work, closing with personal experiences, obstacles encountered, and assessments of the work's results.
