ISPAHAN TO TEHERAN.
great profusion at the foot of the nearer mountains. The soil of the
plain k salt, and of course very soft, intersected by a great number
of dikes, which being well replenished with water had rendered the
road extremely difficult. As we approached Teheran, we were met by
frequent istakballs, in the principal of which was Norooz Khan,
one of the King's relations, and Master of the Ceremonies. The
mob increased greatly as we came to the town walls. At the gate,
through which we passed, were posted files of soldiers of the new corps,
dressed something like Russians and disciplined after the European
manner. We passed through small streets of miserable buildings, and
saw nothing that indicated royalty. At length we dismounted at the
house of Hajee Mahomed Hossein Khan , the second Minister,
where we were treated with chairs and tables, which had been provided
by our host. Though it had been his own residence, and though he
had just removed from it to make room for the Embassy, we found it a
mansion far less respectable than any that we had seen either at Shiraz
or Ispahan, All the riches are collected on the throne, and all around
is poverty, either real or affected.
The reception of His Majesty's Mission, from our entrance into
Persia to our arrival in the capital, was marked with the most ready
attention, and the highest honours from all classes; and our journey
was now closed at Teheran by particular and gratifying distinctions.
