One of the most important books on Persia. Dealing with every aspect of Persia, political, archaeological, cultural, etc., its great strength is its topographical section. As Ghani says, 'his powers of observation and analysis were extraordinary; no detail ever escaped him. His book can still be used as a topographical guide for travel in Iran.'

First edition; 2 vols, 8vo, xxiv, 639; xii, 653 pp., illustrations throughout, 10 maps (1 large folding at end), original dark green cloth gilt, gilt pictorial vignettes to upper covers, a very good copy.
