Recent Happenings in Persia (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Recent Happenings in PersiaThe following pages represent my first, and in all probability my last, attempt at authorship. That even this venture would have been undertaken is improbable in the extreme were it not that the great majority of those who are familiar with recent developments in Persia are, from the very nature of the positions which they occupy, debarred from making their knowledge public, and that events which have resulted in the extinction of British prestige in Persia, with inevitable consequences in the adjacent countries, ought to have a wider publicity than they at present possess. Moreover, although it is admittedly dangerous to argue from the particular to the general, it is not altogether unreasonable to regard the Cabinet's doings in Persia as exemplifying their methods in wider spheres.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
