ABSTRACT

ON Monday, 7th November, bidding farewell to our kind host, we quitted Tabriz as we had entered it, with Farach's animals, which we had decided to re-engage at sixty-five /ffdns a head (nearly £zsterling) for our journey to the capital. Contrary to the general rule, we managed to begin our journey with a good long stage of eight farsak,hs I • We passed nothing of interest except a large sheet of water, lying to the north of the road, on which were multitudes of water-fowl; and, as we had made a late start, it was more than an hour after sundown when we reached I:Iaji-A~a, where we halted for the night.
