abstract note	"But their efforts [at govt. reform in Persia] were not crowned with success, [because] the despotic Government had found a powerful ally in the clerical party, who helped to stifle every attempt at liberal expansion by using religion as a pretext and treating with suspicion and denunciation all those who showed themselves accessible to ideas of reform. This policy was still further encouraged by what proved to be a disastrous event for the reformers, namely, the appearance of Babism whose adherents were considered to be worthy of death. For under the arbitrary regime, few people dared to criticise the proceedings of the Government, and those who made the venture were accused of Babism."
