On his first journey to Europe the Shah took with him several The Shah's
princes of the blood whom it was judged inexpedient to leave behind in pean ^1°"
Persia; but, even so, the fact of his being able to leave Persia at all bore 1873 »
witness to his consciousness of being firmly established on the throne,
Constantinople, Vienna, St. Petersburg, Berlin, Paris, Brussels, and
London were among the capitals which he visited ; and at Constanti
nople a unique personal meeting took place between him and the Sultan of
Turkey, the two Principal Muhammadan monarchs of the world.
Some of the political results of the Shah^s journey are noted else
where ; here it is only relevent to mention the circumstances attending
its conclusion. Rumours of disaffection at home abridged the Shah's
tour in its last stages; and when he returned to Persia it was to find
that the Renter Concession had caused a dangerous ferment in the
country, and that the removal of the Prime Minister was demanded by
a large body of malcontents, some of whom were actuated by public, but
a larger number by private considerations. For a time it was feared
that the Shah might consider himself obliged to sacrifice Mirza Husain
Khan, as he had sacrificed Mirza Taqi K1 an in 1852 to appease the
general resentment; but, while he dismissed him from Prime Minister
ship, he protected him from harm and even maintained him in power, for
a time ; as Sipah Salar or Commander-in-Chief; and in the end suitable
punishments were meted out to all the more prominent personages who
had shown symptoms of disloyalty.
Emboldened by the success of his first journey to Europe the Shah The Shah's
in 1878 undertook a second. On this occasion he visited Russia, peaTtour) 10
Germany, France and Austria, but not England ; and the chief visible 1878,
consequence of his excursion was the importation of Austrian instructors
for the Persian army on a considerable scale. Since the disappearance,
about 1850, of most of the French officers employed by Muhammad
Shah, the Persian army had passed through the hands, successively, of
Austrian, Italian, and other French experts none of whom remained
very long in the country. There was some murmuring in Persia
regarding the extravagance of the Shah^s * expenditure on his second
European tour.
