Epilogue, p.657, f.1
"Excellency, After the carrying out of those energetic measures on the part
of the Persian Government for the extirpation and extermination of the
misguided and detestable sect of the Babis, with the details of which Your
Excellency is fully acquainted [allusion is made to the great persecution
of the Babis in Tihran in the summer of 1852], praise be to God, by the
attention of the Imperial mind of is most potent Majesty, whose rank is as
that of Jamshid, the refuge of the True Religion--may our lives be his
sacrifice!--, their roots were torn up." (Extract from letter addressed by
Mirza Sa'id Khan, ex-foreign minister of Persia; to the Persian
ambassador in Constantinople; dated 12th of 12th Dhu'l-Hijjih, 1278 [May
10, 1862]. Facsimile and translation of the document reproduced in E. G.
Browne's "Materials for the Study of the Babi Religion," p. 283.)
