A member of the Bengal Civil establishment, Edward Scott Waring (1783-1821) travelled in some style Persia in 1802-3 with a retinue of ten servants. He was a keen observer of Persian society and customs, as well as of the Wahhabis, whilst his book is also important as it constitutes one of the first attempts to introduce Persian poetry to the west. He was read by Byron and Coleridge amongst others.

Originally published in an extremely rare edition of 1804 at the Courier Press in Bombay.
