The Saturday Review says : " Before going to help to govern them, 

 Mr Scott has once more written on the Burmese . . . Mr Scott claims 

 to have covered the whole ground, and as there is nobody competent to 

 criticise him except himself, we shall not presume to say how far he has 

 succeeded. What, however, may be asserted with absolute confidence is, 

 that he has written A BRIGHT, READABLE, AND USEFUL BOOK."
