An Account of The Kingdom of Nepal And of the Territories Annexed to this Dominion by the House of Gorkha

"An Account of The Kingdom of Nepal" by Francis Hamilton is a historical record from the 1800s that shares all about Nepal, its lands, its people, and its ways, especially looking at the power and control before a big war. The author looks at the different groups of people living there, how Hinduism changed things, and what makes the area tick. The book starts by explaining how the author learned about Nepal, from the land to the people living there. Hamilton shares what it was like living in Kathmandu and talking with people who knew the area well, like leaders and religious folks. All these talks helped him learn about the different groups of people, their ways of life, and Nepal's story as the Gorkha family took over. This sets the stage for a closer look at the tribes, how their societies worked, and how their old traditions mixed with the growing influences of major religions in the area.
