To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The fertility of the plain, the supply of water from the Zandah Rud, and a propitious climate combine to make this a favourable location for the capital of the country. But these conditions are not the most powerful causes of prosperity in Persia.
At present Ispahan impresses one more by the extent of its ruins, than by any other feature. Many bazaars constructed in the best manner have not an occupant. Mosques and schools are deserted A multitude of the humbler dwellings are without inhab- ita...nt and falling to earth. Ispahan is the relic of a powerful and fallen dynasty of kings, and Julfah is dis- tinguished as the memorial of a captive and perishing church.
