Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Art in Persia Geologists tell us that the formation of the Iran plateau is to be explained by an over owing from the north, which filled the spacious basin comprised between the hindu-kush and the chain of Zagros during one or two consecutive upheavals. The alluvium brought by the flood left everything covered except the very top, whose peaks shoot up like rocks out of the sea. Hence it is that throughout this region short plains and mountains succeed each other without transition. The summits of the latter are splintered up, and their sides so precipitous that no vegetable soil can adhere to their surface; there is not a tree to be seen, not even herbaceous plants, lichens, or mosses for the rain-waters are drained as they fall, and percolating the soil, which everywhere is extremely porous, they collect into subterraneous depressions of no great depth, extending beneath the arid surface. Of the tablelands.l Necessity taught man in early days to find out the cool, refreshing liquid in these exhaustless reservoirs, in order to water and fertilize a few patches, at least, of a land that at first sight might seem doomed to everlasting sterility.

Download or read book Reminiscences of My Life in Persia Classic Reprint written by Mary Jewett and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-18 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of My Life in Persia When in the providence of God my duty had been made plain to me that I should retire from active service on the foreign field to spend the remainder of my days in the home land, I was glad that they said to me "Come and tell us of your life and work," hoping thus to do something for the cause. I soon found that it is very little that can be told in the short time given for a missionary address. So I felt impelled to write it out, and thus tell more fully of my experiences in Persia. My little book is not a history, nor is it a diary or a journal. It does not go into deep things, but is only a simple story of my missionary life, with greetings to my many friends whose love and prayers have been a help and blessing to me all the years. I have been guided in the selection of matter by questions that have been asked me, and what I have written is largely answers to such questions. I beg of my readers leniency in judgment, for my work is far from perfect; but imperfection marks all our labors here below. With the salutation of the East I greet you "Sala'am-alakum" Peace be unto you. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
