Abstract
When Lord Curzon published his classical volumes upon “Persia and the Persian Question”, it was his intention to add a third volume dealing with the bibliography of works about that country, but for obvious reasons this intention was never carried out. Sir Arnold Wilson has now partly supplied the desideratum by assembling in aphabetical order the names of the authors of some 6500 titles, including translations in European languages of original Persian books and writings. From among this great mass of material the scientific specialist may pick out many details of special interest to himself, whether relating to such topics as the geology of oil-fields or local flora or to other matters, but his labour will be great until the work is completed by the addition of an analytical subject index.
A Bibliography of Persia.
Lieut.-Col. Sir Arnold Wilson. Pp. x + 253. (Oxford: Clarendon Press; London: Oxford University Press, 1930.) 20s. net.
