abstract note	Of greater significance than this Arabian attempt to restore the past is the Persian Bābī movement (see Bāb, Bābīs), which took its rise about the middle of the 19th century. It was in its origin associated with ancient mystical ideas, and trafficked in all manner of magical trumpery, speculations about numbers and letters, etc. It has latterly assumed a more progressive aspect, and now advocates the emancipation of women and the brotherhood of all classes and religions. To the present writer, however, it seems highly questionable whether the flaccid mystical utterances of the Bābī prophets are capable of effecting anything—in the face of Oriental despotism—on behalf of a free and active morality.
