Présentation de l'éditeur

A merica, has come in contact with different classes of people who have raised serious questions concerning modern Persia. Those who are interested in politics and government, have asked: Is modern Persia a province of Turkey? Is it as large as the State of Michigan? Is the king still absolute, as in ancient times? Have the laws of the Medes and Persians undergone no change? A re there any remains of Persia sancient beauty and grandeur? These, and questions like these, have been from time to time j Dresented to the author. On the other hand it is to bo observed that many journalists traveling through Persia have greatly misrepresented that country. Their limited stay made it impossible for them to acquire any accurate knowledge of the country. It is no easy task to familiarize oneself with the ideas and customs of that ancient and historic country. To thousands in Persia the literature and history of their own land is a sealed book.
