00.02 Author's Note

AUTHOR’S NOTE THE author wishes to acknowledge her great indebtedness to those friends, both in England and in Persia, who have given invaluable help and advice without which this memoir could not have been written.

She feels that some apology is needed for the references to Persian history, religion, and customs, but such seemed necessary in a book which has so many extracts from letters, and so few notes of time or place.
