Book Description

Excerpt from A Winter's Journey (Tatar), From Constantinople to Tehran, Vol. 1 of 2: With Travels Through Various Parts of Persia, &C The appearance of another book of travels in Persia by the same author who, more than twelve years ago, published a work on Khorasan, &c., may be thought to require some explanation. A few words will suffice for this purpose. After a period when the author of these works believed that his travelling days were over, - that he had hung up his "Uvida vestimenta" for good in the hall of his own home, his services were unexpectedly required, and he was summoned once more to resume his well-worn cloak and riding gear for a winter journey of no ordinary severity, and another pilgrimage to those lands which he had traversed already with so much interest as a younger man.
