ABSTRACT

JULFA is, as I have said, situated at some distance from I~fahan, and to walk from the Mission-House to the bazaars requires the best part of an hour. Hence it happened that, although I remained a fortnight in this place, I did not visit the city more than five or six times, and then chiefly for business in the bazaars or caravansarays. Four or five days after my arrival, however, I accompanied Mr Aghanor, the British agent, into the town, and he kindly devoted several hours to showing me some of its more interesting features. Some of these I have already noticed, and it only remains to say a few words about the rest.
