This is Volume 2 of Michael Symes's "An Account Of An Embassy To The Kingdom Of Ava, In The Year 1795." Symes, a British envoy, provides a detailed narrative of his diplomatic mission to the Kingdom of Ava (present-day Burma) in the late 18th century. This volume includes observations on Burmese society, culture, and politics, as well as a narrative of the late military and political operations in the Burmese Empire.
Symes's account offers valuable insights into the interactions between the British Empire and Southeast Asia during a period of expanding colonial influence. It remains an important historical source for understanding the region's past and the early stages of British involvement. This edition allows readers to delve into the intricacies of 18th-century diplomacy and gain a deeper appreciation for the complexities of intercultural relations.
