First Published in 1968. This second edition includes the ''Tragedy of Negrais'' as a new appendix. Originally published in 1928 for the University of Rangoon and the sequel three years later- ''Tragedy of Negrais'' as a journal for the Burma Research Society. During the Japanese occupation of Burma from 1942 to 1945 unsold copies were lost or destroyed. This volume is a reprint of the original research into the East India Company''s records at the India Office. They tell the story of English relations with Burma from the days of Elizabeth I to the beginning of the long break which started in 1762, which started due to the incident in 1759 known as the ''massacre of Negrais'' and ended in 1795.
