Förlagets beskrivning
Charles Thomas Paske was a Deputy-Surgeon-General who served with the Bengal Army. In this book published in 1892 and edited by his friend Frederick George Aflalo, he looks back over the years he spent in Burmah (now known as Myanmar) during the 1850s. Neither a history nor a geography of the region, Paske's aim in setting down these reminiscences is to engage his readers with observations on a variety of interesting topics. After outlining the sea journey itself and an initial stop-off in Calcutta, he gives his first impressions of Burmah, before giving an account of the dangers encountered and difficulties surmounted during his military service. Having fallen victim to fever himself at one point, he discusses the subject in general, and is also outspoken regarding the care of children whose parents are serving abroad
