About the Author
Horace Hayman Wilson (1786-1860), an English orientalist, initially practiced medicine before joining the Bengal establishment of the British East India Company in 1808. Serving as secretary to the committee of public instruction, he opposed making English the sole medium in native schools. Wilson delved into India's ancient language and literature, translating the Rigveda into English and producing the first Sanskrit-English Dictionary in 1819. He also translated Kalidasa's Meghaduuta in 1813, showcasing his interest in Sanskrit literature.

Preface
THE war with the Burmas in 1824-26, was at-tended with so many circumstances of a novel and peculiar character, and opened to European access so many new and interesting regions, that it was thought advisable by the Government of Bengal, to place before the public in a collective and available form, a series of official documents, illustrative of the origin, course and termination of hostilities: providing in this manner a trust-worthy guide for any future emergency of a similar nature, and disseminating authentic in-formation respecting the valuable countries be-tween India and China, of which at the time little or nothing was known.
