The last fellow did not like to travel without MA

ENGLISH BOOKS AND PERSIAN ANGER
The last number of the English Quarterly. inst
issued from the press of Wells q Lilly, has some ar
ticles of unusual interest For the present, we viii
merely give an extract from the review of very
amusing book, called 'Hai Bahia in England" bein,
continuation OF the Adventures Of Halii Bahia"
published in 1924.
The terrible hurricane of moral passions, which
had vent in the French Revolution and the protrac.
ted tempest of war, have, like the storms of nature
led to good effects and of these the least remark
able has been the connecting intercourse OF FEELING
and sentiments, of nations not only remote from each
other but so divided by opinions to render il here

Prester John had studied Sir John Mandeyil,'s Tra

Since English literature has found an interest, oven
IN Persa, we feel disposed to noursh hopes that tho
taste may increase. Why may not European pro-
ductons become, in time, as indispensable 20 the
moral habits Of Persian, as Chinese leaf TO an
European breakfast The possibility Of great
change being introduced by very slight beginnings,
may be illustrated by the tale which Lockmnn tells
OF avizer who having offended HIS master, was con
demned to perpetual captivity in lofty tower. az
night his wife came to weep below his windoe.
