PREFACE.
VV HILST the Annals of almost every Nation that can
boast of any political importance have been illustrated
by eminent British Writers, Persia seems hitherto to
have been generally neglected. It must, therefore, be
allowed to be highly desirable that this blank in our
Literature should be filled up, and that the English
reader should be made acquainted with the history
and condition of a people, who have in most ages
acted a conspicuous part on the theatre of the world;
and who have of late acquired peculiar claims to our
attention, from the nature of their relations to British
India, and from the renewal of their intercourse with
the States of Europe. Though I have for many years
contemplated such a Work as an object of utility and
importance, a sense of my own want of qualifications as
an Author long deterred me from undertaking it. I had
left my native country and entered the army of India
