When first published in 1928, Herbert's work enjoyed immediate
success. The narrative is of considerable importance from an
historical point of view, as it gives the only detailed account of
the first English embassy to Persia. It also paints a graphic
picture of the Perisa and the Persians in the early part of the
seventeenth century, with vivid and extensive descriptions of the
towns of Abbas, Lar, Shiraz, Persepolis, Isfahan, Ashraf, Tehran,
Qazvin, Qum and Kashan.
This edition is based on the revised edition of 1677, but has in
turn been edited so that the version reprinted here includes only
what the author actually saw or gleaned at first hand. The notes
include identification of places and a glossary of the strange or
obsolete terms.
