FIELD.—" Major Sykes has placed English readers under a deep debt of gratitude. It is refreshing to come across a book so far removed from the ordinary. . . . Though merely an addition to that class of ' travellers' tales ' of which Robinson Crusoe is the most famous example, The Glory of the Shia World is none the less interesting and valuable as an attempt to depict Persian life and thought from within. And as a book to read it is wholly delightful. It abounds in anecdotes, and throws numerous sidelights on Persian customs and the Persian character. . . . The temptation to go on quoting from this entertaining volume is great, but to extract all the good things it contains would be to repeat the best part of the book. The illustrations are also full of interest, and include four richly-coloured full-page reproductions from Persian paintings."
PALL MALL GAZETTE.—" The writer's sidelights on Persian administration are specially interesting at a time when absolute monarchy has given place to absolute anarchy. . . . Many good stories, true or well invented, will be found in these delightful pages, wherein Persian patriotism and conceit are also fully illustrated. . . . The true origin or wine, or ' sweet poison,' can be read in this volume, and much discourse upon love and beauty. In fact, the book is full of information, and the only thing it does not contain is a single dull page, which is greatly to the credit of the author, be he Nurullah Khan indeed, or Major Sykes."

ATHENEUM —" It is hardly possible to overpraise the vivid representation by Prof. Jackson of what he actually saw. . . . The matter contained in Prof. Jackson's work is sufficiently original and attractive to dispense with any additional embellishment. All the same, we could ill spare the remarkable series of illustrations, many of which bear witness to
he author's skill in handling the camera. We have never seen a collection of equal variety and excellence in a book of this size."
