Note 67 — III. HERE FOLLOWETH CONCERNING THE REALM OF PERSIA.

Reading edition

The Afghans exceed the practices here graphically described; for they, I believe, often expectorate in the hairy sleeve of the postin, which in winter they wear after the fashion of Brian O’Linn, “with the leather side out and the woolly side in.” Scott Waring (Tour to Shiraz, p. 103) notices the dirty table habits of the Persians.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
