When we first arrived at Ava, we were anx¬ 
ious, especially Mr. Judson, to purchase Bur- 
man books. This came to the notice of the Go¬ 
vernment ; and we were requested to give our¬ 
selves no trouble on the subject, as the King 
would furnish us with all we wanted, if a list 
were supplied. The list was accordingly given 
in, in which was included some historical works 
and treatises on law. The books now produced 
were those requested, with the exception of the 
latter description, not one of which was sup¬ 
plied. It was thought, it appears, that these 
would have afforded us some insight into the 
mysteries of Burman Government, and this was 
a sufficient ground for refusing them!
