Excerpt from A Journey to Katmandu: The Capital of Nepaul, With the Camp of Jung Bahadoor; Including a Sketch of the Nepaulese Ambassador at Home

The interest which was manifested in the Nepaulese Embassy during the short residence of Jung Bahadoor in England leads me to hope that a description of the romantic country and independent court which he came to represent, as well as some account of his own previous eventful career, may not be unacceptable to the English Public - more especially as no work upon Nepaul has been published in this country, that I am aware of, since Dr. Hamilton's, which appeared about the year 1819.

Through the kindness and friendship of the Nepaulese Ambassador, I was enabled to visit Katmandu under most favourable circumstances; and during the journey thither in his company I had abundant opportunity of obtaining much interesting information, and of gaining an insight into the character of the people, and their mode of every-day life, for which a residence in camp was peculiarly favourable.
