Niko Dadiani, as a military commander, ambassador, and ruler of Samegrelo, played an important role in the entire region. Consequently, his diaries are of particular significance.
The book contains valuable information about the principalities of Samegrelo and Abkhazia, and the political and economic conditions there in the first third of the 19th century. Noteworthy are the details concerning law and legal proceedings, as Niko Dadiani served as a judge until his death in the late 19th century and as the chairman of Samegrelo's Supreme Court from 1815, holding the title of chief judge, or "mdivanbegtukhutsesi".
