Notes Bahá'í Faith: p. 579. '[re: miracles among the Shiah's] The history of the Babites, so well described by M. de Gobineau in his Religions of Asia, is a case in point... I met at Jeddah a highly educated Persian gentleman, who informed me that he had himself been witness, when a boy, to a religious prodigy, notorious, if I remember rightly, at Tabriz. [Hughes continues with a not wholly accurate but fair account of the miraculous circumstances of the martyrdom of the Bab].'
