About This Book

A British medical officer recounts life and travel in Persia during a prolonged residence in the late 19th century, combining journey narratives, vivid scenes of Teheran, provincial towns, bazaars, court ceremonies, and festivals with portraits of everyday customs, domestic life, the harem, local medicine, tribal camps, and the telegraph service. The work blends practical travel notes, humorous and characteristic anecdotes, sketches of officials and artisans, and illustrations and a glossary, and closes with reflections on commerce and practical suggestions for improving communications and trade.

MOXON’S POPULAR POETS.

The press and the public, alike in Great Britain and her Colonies, and in the United States, unite in their testimony to the immense superiority of Moxon’s Popular Poets over any similar collection published by any other house. The possession by the Publishers of the Copyright Works of Coleridge, Hood, Keats, Shelley, Wordsworth, and other great National Poets, places this series above rivalry.
