| Summary, etc. | This autobiography includes a candid, glowing account of Prof. E. G. Browne: 'His personal speciality was the Babi religion, which became the Baha'i religion after the founder's martyrdom. Gobineau's Religions et Philosophies de l'Asie Mineure (sic) is the locus classicus for these events. Browne preferred the cause of the saintly Subh-i-Ezel, whom Mohammed Ali el-Bab had nominated as his successor, to that of the more forceful half-brother who usurped his place. He gave me copies of all his books as a parting gift [in 1914], and for many years we exchanged Persian greetings on the day of Nauruz.' |
