About this Item

11 volumes. Small Octavo. 18cm. Publisher's uniform decorated card wraps in a variety of colors. Pagination varies, but between 34pp.- 60pp. per title. Some light soiling and scuffing in places; internally clean; all numbers very good or better. Nos. 2 & 3 are second printings, all others are first printings. A neat little collection of wartime (and immediately following) pamphlets intended to familiarize Westerners with the culture, socio-political systems, religions, wildlife, and economic influence of Burma. Penned by a variety of mostly British experts in various aspects of Burmese society they veer between being earnest and informative when discussing wildlife and natural history, and containing more than a fading echo of British Imperialist opinions and beliefs. A difficult series to complete; these copies in quite lovely condition.
