Excerpt from Life in the Moslem East The book itself I feel needs no apology. It is not a pretentious history, nor an exhaustive treatise on the countries upon which it touches. It is more a series of studies of certain phases of the life, religion and customs of people among whom my husband has passed the thirty-six years of his service, people for whom he has learned to have a deep sympathy, and often affection, and whom he has striven to present impartially. The fact of his having been for some years Secretary of Legation in Teheran, acting Consul General in Tabriz, five years Consul in Bagdad, five years Consul General in Meshed, two years on a Special mission to Tashkent and the Pamirs, and for the last seven years Consul Gen eral in Constantinople is a guarantee for his personal ac quaintance with the subjects treated.
