BY THE SAME AUTHOR.

PERSIA AS IT IS.
Being Sketches of Modern Persian Life and Character.

“Qualified by residence, knowledge, and popularity, Dr. Wills draws for us a most interesting picture of the Persians, their outer and inner life. This book is utterly unaffected and full of keen observation.”—The Spectator.

“Dr. Wills has done most acceptable work in giving us a second volume of life and manners in Persia.”—The Academy.

“These bright sketches of Persian life form a worthy continuation of the preceding volume, and augur a successful career in the paths already trodden.”—The Athenæum.
