A History of Assam c22.2

c22.2

This work would be incomplete if it did not contain some account of the relations of the British Government with the various hill tribes along the frontier, other than those already mentioned. To deal with this subject at all fully would take up far more space than could be spared. Moreover, a complete account down to the year 1883 has already been compiled.* In the present chapter, therefore, the narrative will be confined to a brief notice of the more noteworthy episodes in the history of this frontier.
