Opis: Travels and Adventures in the Persian Provinces on the Southern Banks of the Caspian Sea - Fraser James Baillie

Excerpt from Travels and Adventures in the Persian Provinces on the Southern Banks of the Caspian Sea: With an Appendix, Containing Short Notices on the Geology and Commerce of Persia

The following work is chiefly the narrative of a journey through some parts of Persia very little known. It may be considered as a continuation of Travels formerly published by the Author, with this difference, that the present Volume consists more of personal adventures, and dwells less on statistical and historical details.

In the Appendix will be found a geological sketch, which, though not so full as could be wished, may interest readers who are aware how very little is known respecting the physical structure of those distant countries.

A few particulars are also added in the form of Tables, with observations on each, relating to the commercial resources of Persia. The habitual jealousy and distrust of Asiatics, render it difficult for a traveller to procure authentic information on any topic; but the Author has reason to believe that reliance may be placed on the statements alluded to.

Many details are given in the course of this narrative, which at first sight may seem insignificant; but it has been thought right to be as circumstantial as possible, in describing the manners of a people so seldom exposed to the inspection of European eyes.
