"A Personal Narrative of two Years' Imprisonment in Burmah, 1824-26" recounts Henry Gouger's harrowing experiences as a prisoner during a tumultuous period in Anglo-Burmese relations. This compelling primary source offers a rare first-hand account of life in 19th-century Burma and the challenges faced by foreigners amidst political upheaval.

Gouger's detailed narrative provides insights into the cultural, social, and political landscape of the time. His observations on Burmese customs, the intricacies of local governance, and the impact of British presence offer invaluable perspectives for historians and anyone interested in Southeast Asian history. This edition, featuring a foreword by T. S. Wentworth, makes Gouger's important work accessible to a new generation of readers.
