The book was originally published under the title A History of the Reigning Family of Lahore in 1847 just after the Anglo-Sikh wars and annexation of Punjab by the British thus bringing to close the Sikh raj that was established by Maharaja Ranjit Singh in 1801. As long as Maharaja Ranjit Singh wal alive, the Sikh raj promised to be durable but as soon as he left the scene, the raj started showing fissures to ultimately breaking up altogether. The writer, Maj. G. Carmichael Smyth, has himself crossed swords with the Sikhs during an Anglo-Sikh War. He was also associated with the British intelligence network in special respect to Sikh affairs. The intelligence network was more active after the death of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, perhaps the British expected the fall of the Sikh rule imminent. To prepare this book Maj. Smyth had consulted notes fed by the British intelligence. He had also consulted native manuscripts and writings. He had also interacted with Sikh sirdars to check and recheck the information he had got from other souces. Therefore, this book has the recommendation of being highly authentic. As the writer was so close to the times he wrote about-in fact he was of the times-the book should be considered an eyewitness account of the events taking place at the Khalsa Durbar.
