An Account of Assam

An Account of Assam, compiled by Francis Hamilton and edited by Surya Kumar Bhuyan, is a comprehensive work that details the geography, natural history, and society of Assam during the early 19th century. Hamilton, a Scottish surgeon and botanist, conducted extensive surveys in Assam, documenting its flora, fauna, and culture. Bhuyan’s editing enhances the text with contextual explanations, making it accessible for modern readers. This work remains a significant historical resource for understanding Assam’s environment, people, and early British interactions with the region.
