Mentioned in the book are all sorts of useful information, and often the first such notices to be written in English. There are 23 chapters in the book that describe the history; the authors early life there; the participation of the hill chiefs in the Darbar; the author's expeditions and explorations; an account of the author's first mission to Bhutan; earlier British missions to Bhutan; Bhutan's foreign relations with the neighbouring areas; arts and industries; laws; list of flora and fauna, etc. There are 41 illustrations and 1 map in this book, which was first published in 1909. The book is immensely good for the students and the researchers. About the Author:-John Claude White CIEwas an engineer, photographer, author and civil servant in British India. He originally worked in Bengal, Nepal and Darjeeling. In 1883, he was assigned to the British Residency in Kathmandu, Nepal where he photographed the architecture and monuments. He was appointed Political Officer in the north east Indian Kingdom of Sikkim in 1889. He became chairman of the council that advised Sikkim's Chogyal Thutob Namgyal whereafter he reorganised Sikkim's administration before going on to order land and mineral surveys and develop unused wasteland. He also established a forestry department and the first police post in Aritar as well as introduced English apple cultivation in the northern towns of Lachung and Lachen. White created a rich and detailed photographic account of the culture and scenery of the Himalayas during his travels through the region. John Falconer, curator of photographs at the British Library's Oriental and India Office Collections described White's work as "probably one of the last, and certainly among the most impressive products of a tradition of quasi-amateur photography which had flourished among administrators and military personnel in India since the 1850s."
