This most interesting book consists of a translation of a 
work written in 1868, lithographed first at Teheran and 
afterwards at Bombay. As will be seen from the translator’s 
Introduction, the author, Jaymur Mirza, was one of the 
nineteen sons of Husayn f Ali Mirza, Governor of the Province 
of Fars, who was once offered the crown of Persia. He was 
in London in 1836, but returned to Teheran and died there 
in 1874. He was well known as an exceptional authority on 
Falconry.
