Excerpt from Sketches of Persia The uniformed natives of these countries, whose condi tion is much to be deplored, are not aware that the great Samuel Johnson has said, that Whatever raises the past, the distant, and the future, above the present, exalts us in the dignity of human beings which is an unanswerably' good reason for the preference given to mummies over every living object, however fascinating. The rage of the present day for mummies and other delectable reliques of antiquity has deluged Egypt with itinerant men of science and research, who have quite ex hansted that land of wonders and those who have lately visited it have been reduced, from actual want of other aliment, to the necessity of preying upon their predecessors, many of whom have been cruelly mangled, and some Wholly devoured.

Excerpt from History of Art in Persia Geologists tell us that the formation of the Iran plateau is to be explained by an over owing from the north, which filled the spacious basin comprised between the hindu-kush and the chain of Zagros during one or two consecutive upheavals. The alluvium brought by the flood left everything covered except the very top, whose peaks shoot up like rocks out of the sea. Hence it is that throughout this region short plains and mountains succeed each other without transition. The summits of the latter are splintered up, and their sides so precipitous that no vegetable soil can adhere to their surface; there is not a tree to be seen, not even herbaceous plants, lichens, or mosses for the rain-waters are drained as they fall, and percolating the soil, which everywhere is extremely porous, they collect into subterraneous depressions of no great depth, extending beneath the arid surface. Of the tablelands.l Necessity taught man in early days to find out the cool, refreshing liquid in these exhaustless reservoirs, in order to water and fertilize a few patches, at least, of a land that at first sight might seem doomed to everlasting sterility.

Excerpt from Persian Art The History of Art in Persia dates from the remote ages of the Four ancient monarchies, of which Persia is the only one now existing. The long duration of Persia as a separate and generally independent kingdom has been less owing to its power of resisting attacks from without than to the faculty always shown of absorbing its temporary conquerors.

There are three older pre-muhammadan literatures well worthy of. Study which belong to Persia; and, though I shall not have time to discuss them to - day, I must at least mention them.
