A. V. W. JACKSON'S Persia, Past and Present
Illustrated, cloth, 8vo, $4.00 net
" The matter contained in Professor Jackson's work is sufficiently original and attractive to dispense with any additional embellishment. All the same, we could ill spare the remarkable series of illustrations (over two hundred in number) many of which bear witness to the author's skill in handling the camera." — Athenceum.
"This is no ordinary book of travel." — Stanley Lane- Poole in the Tribune (London).
" The volume has a permanent value, and will take its place by the side of those of Sir Robert Ker Porter and Lord Curzon." — Saturday
Review.
" A profoundly interesting work by a distinguished American scholar. It is partly a narrative of travel, but that is its least part. As a study of the old Persian monuments and sites and of a once widespread and still devoutly observed religion it has a claim to the attention of all serious readers." — Manchester Guardian.
" The Professor of Indo-Iranian languages at Columbia University has put all serious travelers and archaeologists under obligation by the publication of his book of travel and research in Persia. ' Persia, Past and Present' is of equal value to the student of present-day politics, manners and customs, and to the student of history, archae- ology, and religion." — The Outlook.
" It has enduring value. It has scientific power. It has historical interest and, what is rarer, the feeling for what is genuinely interesting in history. It has a sense of the humanity of life, the poetry, the mysticism." — North American Review.
