Abstract

The study of İran’s geography and history has attracted the attention of scholars both within and outside its borders. Over time, numerous researchers, including travelers and diplomats who have visited Iran, have recorded their knowledge and experiences regarding Iranian history. This has led to a significant body of literature pertaining of the subject matter. Nevertheless, the discovery or employment of less widely known works can further enrich our understanding and contribute to accumulating historical knowledge about Iran. In contributing to the literature on Iranian history, the reprinting of Robert Grant Watson’s A History of Persia: From the Beginning of the Nineteenth Century to the Year 1858 is a noteworthy development.
