ABSTRACT
To enjoy travel in Persia a man ought to be strong and keen, of the type of those “who scorn delights and live laborious days,” and, if possible, he should be endued with a dash of imagination, a taste for art, history, and sport, and an interest in his fellow-creatures. To such a traveller the time spent in Iran will be one of the most cherished memories of his life, a period when at his best he lived to the full, a haunting episode filling him now and again with a strange home-sickness.
