Short Description of the Mines of Precious Stones, in the District of Kyat-pyen, in the Kingdom of Ava, by Pere Giuseppe d'Amato, edited by Michael W. Charney

D'Amato, Pierre Giuseppe; Charney, Michael W.

Abstract

This first-hand communication from Giuseppe d’Amato appears to have been written originally in Italian. It was translated for publication in the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal in 1833, although the translator’s name is not provided. However short this account, it provides valuable detailed information mining in royal Burma as well as a few hints concerning Chinese traders in Upper Burma.
