| | Personal Recollections of British Burma and Its Church Mission Work |
 | | British Burma consists of three divisions: Arakan, Pegu, and Tenasserim, extending along the eastern shore of the Bay of Bengal, from Chittagong in N. Lat. |
 | | From the river Sittang, the coast turns southward, parallel to the western boundary of Siam; inclosing a long and narrow strip of Tenasserim, and facing, at a distance of about twenty miles, a long and beautiful chain of islands called the Mergui Archipelago. |
 | | In Tenasserim even coal has been discovered; but, owing to the difficulty and expense of removing it, the seams are not worked. |
