Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from From Constantinople to the Home of Omar Khayyam: Travels in Transcaucasia and Northern Persia for Historic and Literary Research
Among the generous criticisms of the book that appeared five years ago was a special comment by George Edward Wood berry in approval of the 'blending of scholarship and travel the research side imparting a touch of romance, and dignifying the travel.' I hope that the present pages may not be found to fall too far below the standard which the critic demanded to have maintained. For that reason I have refrained, as before, from an earlier idea of labeling certain chapters as 'dedicated to the special student, ' because of their more technical con tents, and of designating others as 'dedicated to the general reader.' It will not be found difficult, I think, to] distinguish the appeal in either case.
