Excerpt from The Diary of H. M. The Shah of Persia: During His Tour Through Europe in A. D. 1873
As Court Circulars, then, written day by day, they naturally contain a proportion of the merely formal notices that constitute this class of state documents. But, as personal narratives, they are written in the plain, unvarnished style of the private gentleman, much as any one of us may have used in letters sent home to gratify, inform, or amuse friends.
If the pages of the Diary, however, are thus entirely void of all the stramed ornamentations of diction supposed to be inherent in all oriental compositions of literature, they are, on the other hand, brimful of enthusiastic expressions of the varied feelings called forth by the beauty or novelty of the scenes or manners witnessed, and by the genuine gratification derived from the splendid and cordial reception everywhere experienced.
The Shah's continued attention to the charms of natural scenery while pursuing his journeys, and to the splendid results of agricultural, commercial, or mechanical skill and industry, as also to the wonders of the sea and sky in his voyages, whenever the weather permitted, evinces great natural taste.
