A Residence Eight Years in Persia, Among the Nestorian Christians

Excerpt from A Residence Eight Years in Persia, Among the Nestorian Christians: With Notices of the MuhammedansI am happy to acknowledge my obligation to the Rev. R. Ander son, D. D., one of the respected secretaries of the A. B. C. F. M and to my esteemed friend and former instructor, the Rev. Prof. N. W. Fiske, of Amherst College, for valuable advice, in relation to the preparation of this work. But if it shall prove acceptable to the reader, it will be especially owing to the unwearied aid of another esteemed college teacher and friend, the Rev. Prof. B. B. Edwards, of the Theological Seminary at Andover, who has kindly taken the trouble to revise my copy and assist me in correcting the proofs, and whose familiar acquaintance with oriental countries and sub jects, and experience as an author and an editor, are of course a sufficient warrant, that no work of the kind could pass under his supervision, without material benefit.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
