The Acaili'mi/ has published a letter from Teheran, dated August 10, giving Borne account of the Shah's Diary m Eng land. H was published, the writer says, a short time age, and contains 208 quarto pages of bad print. At times the book has the air of being a true diary — jottings that is, not meant for publication ; at others it becomes, however, evident that he wrote the thing simply for the sake of having it published. The style is through out of the very poorest description. When there is anything which the Shah ; failed fully to comprehend, he says, "It was wonderful," or " We cannot write an explanation." Trivial occurrences he dilates upon with a quite remarkable eloquence, important events he finishes off with a few words. Regarding beauti ful and high-born ladies, emperors, kings, and queens, he says very little ; but on negresses, Japanese jugglers, cafis chantants, and kindred subjects he is quite communicative. Describing his reception at Dover, where the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Arthur, and others came to meet him, the Shah says that the Duke of Edinburgh is a " very good looking young man, with small beard and blue eyes," m parentheses he adds that he is very tall. " Prince Arthur is not so tall, has a thinner face, and is smaller than his brother." The crowd at Char ing-cross was " endless," and calls forth the following : — " London has some very handsome women ; on the countenances I of both women and men are depicted no bility, greatness, dignity, snd strength ; it is evident that England is a great nation ; the Almighty has to them especially given power and ability, sense, understanding, and education ; no won der they have conquered a country like India, and possessed considerable colonies m America and m other parts of the world." Then he ad mires the English army, especially the cavalry, but deplores the small num ber of the latter.
