abstract	"A new religious sect has arisen in Persia, oin consequence of the preachings of a man named Bab, who has written a new book, to take the place of the Koran. He is said to have already made several thousand proselytes; and eighteen of these Babees, as his followers are called, have been publicly beheaded by order of the Shah." "Accounts from Tabreez, in Persia, announce the removal thither, on that morning, from his place of captivity, of the soi-disant Prophet Bale [i.e. Bab], whose followers have become so numerous as to threaten the overthrow of established religion. The government had condemned him to be publicly executed, by discharging him from a mortar. He is represented as a very handsome young man, but decidedly non compos mentis."
