Reverand Samuel Graham Wilson's preparation for writing Persian Life and Customs was a fourteen year residence in Tabriz, Persia, as a missionary under the Presbyterian Board of American Foreign Missions. The result is an intimate portrait of the manners and customs of a much varied land, in which customs are not only stereotyped, they are not even uniform in differnt parts of the country or even of the same province. Popular in presentation, the early chapters describe the 'scenes and places visited en route to Persia', whilst the later ones describe the 'civil, religious, social, domestic, and commercial life of the people in cities, villages and tents'. The final chapter presents 'some of the methods and the results of missionary work among different races in Persia'.

This learned investigator further says: " The extraordinary proceedings at Badasht seem to have scandalized not only the Mohammedans but even a section of the Babis."2 Mirza Jani, their first historian and a martyr, avers that not all " have understood the secret of what passed between Hazret-i- Kuddus and Kurrat-ul-Ayn at Badasht, and their real nature and what they meant."3 The Mohammedan historians openly accuse them of immorality. The Sheikh of Kum, a Bahai, told Professor Browne, " After the Bab had declared the law of Islam abrogated and before he had promulgated new ordinances, there ensued a period of transition which we call fitrat (the interval), during which all things were lawful. So long as this continued, Kurrat-ul-Ayn may very possibly have consorted, for example, with Hazret-i-Kuddus, as though he had been her husband." " It may be that the scandals that followed Kurrat- ul-Ayn's venture into public life and her tragic death in the cruel reprisals that followed the attempt of several Babis to assassinate the Shah, gave a backset to the efforts to liberate women in Persia.
