Description
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.
