boards.

At the present juncture, when an event so important
and interesting to all Europe, as the impending conflict be-
tween Russia and Turkey, occupies the public attention ;
and when Persia is threatening to throw her force into the
scale against the former, to revenge if possible her late de-
feats, and retrieve her losses by a fresh and vigorous attack
upon her old enemy,—it may he presumed that any intel-
ligence regarding the strength and resources of that country,
is likely to be received with avidity. The above mentioned
Travels will be found to atiOrd much valuable information
on this interesting subject, and to throw considerable light
upon the present condition of Persia.
