care and sagacity with which they were conducted. Arra- 
can is delineated from Colonel Wood’s surveys; and the 
sources of the Burhampooter and Irawadi are laid down 
from the reports of two enterprising young officers, Lieu¬ 
tenants Burlton and Wilcox. Cassay, or Munipoor, is de¬ 
lineated from the surveys of Lieutenant Pemberton, ano¬ 
ther enterprising and intelligent officer. The coast of Ar- 
racan is delineated from the chart of Captain Crawford, a 
skilful and experienced marine surveyor, well known for 
his surveys of the China Seas and Straits of Malacca. The 
country of Assam is taken from the surveys of Colonel 
Wood; and that between Arracan and Bengal from those 
of Lieutenant Fisher. The survey of the road leading 
through the district of Thalen, or Chalin, and through the 
pass of the mountains into Arracan, together with that of 
the Lain and Pegu rivers, were executed by Captain Trant, 
a most intelligent and talented officer, who was actively 
engaged throughout the Burmese w r ar. Captain Trant is 
the same gentleman whose interesting narrative of the route 
from the Irawadi into Arracan, after the termination of hos¬ 
tilities, I have referred to in the body of the work. 
The map has been compiled by Mr. John Walker, of the 
Admiralty, a gentleman skilled in every branch of Eastern 
geography; and as the author had no share in its execu¬ 
tion, he may say, without vanity, that it will be found to 
exhibit the best view of Burman geography, a branch of 
knowledge, however, as yet extremely imperfect, which has 
been offered to the public.
