Not illustrated. 1828 edition. Excerpt: ...all sizes and denominations, enough to have paved the way, if placed side by side, from Tehran to Tabriz; if placed lengthways, God only knows where they would have reached--into the very grave of the father of all the Russians perhaps! ' Bah! bah! bah!' exclaimed the am-bassador; ' say after this that this nation is ruined! Why, here is enough to blow the debt, and the creditors to boot, thousands of parasangs beyond the farthest Je-hanum! Go to, go to, my little uncle, ' said he to me, ' let us talk no more of the ruin of England. The friendship of such a nation is not to be thrown away. If the Turcoman or Yuzbeg once knew that Path Ali Shah was a friend to a king who possesses ten thousand cannon, and ten millions of cannon balls, whose dog would he be to think of disowning his supremacy.' We were taken from one wonder to another, with our hands to our mouths, sucking the fingers of astonishment and admiration. Secrets were explained which before had been kept under the veil of ignorance. The making of a gun now appeared as easy to us as twisting a piece of sugar. We saw iron flowing about as liquid as the waters of a canal, and becoming a cannon, a ball, a bar, or a nail at pleasure. I noted down what we saw, agreeing all the time with my chief, that in vain I wrote, in vain we might take oaths, we should find no one in Persia to helieve us. Among the officers who conducted the ambassador through the establishment was a young ' no beard, ' who attached himself particularly to me, and who showed me all sorts of attentions. I was fearful lest this preference might be noticed by my chief, and therefore rather shunned him. The cause of his attentions was explained when the youth informed me that he was a young Hogg, son to the worthy family.
