  Preliminary 
  Remaeks. 
  

  

  Prior 
  to 
  the 
  occupation 
  of 
  Pegu 
  by 
  the 
  British 
  forces, 
  and 
  its 
  

   annexation 
  to 
  the 
  dominions 
  of 
  Her 
  Britannic 
  Majesty, 
  very 
  little 
  was 
  

   known 
  regarding 
  the 
  geological 
  constitution 
  of 
  the 
  province 
  ; 
  and 
  great 
  

   expectations 
  were 
  entertained 
  of 
  the 
  mineral 
  wealth 
  which 
  it 
  was 
  

   supposed 
  awaited 
  merely 
  the 
  advent 
  of 
  skill 
  and 
  capital, 
  to 
  requite 
  

   munificently 
  the 
  early 
  pioneer 
  in 
  this 
  direction, 
  and 
  give 
  an 
  additional 
  

   instance 
  of 
  the 
  difference 
  between 
  Eastern 
  apathy 
  and 
  Eastern 
  misrule, 
  and 
  

   the 
  felicitous 
  results 
  of 
  Western 
  energy 
  and 
  Western 
  good 
  government. 
  

   The 
  old 
  adage, 
  however, 
  of 
  omne 
  ignotum 
  pro 
  magnifieo 
  was 
  never 
  more 
  

   strikingly 
  illustrated 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  case 
  of 
  Burmah, 
  in 
  contrasting 
  the 
  

   material 
  poverty 
  and 
  political 
  weakness 
  of 
  the 
  kingdom 
  of 
  the 
  haughty
