Note 146 — APPENDIX. (continued 3)

M. Jourdain, who addressed this interesting letter to me, has published a work entitled La Perse, ou le Tableau de l’Histoire du Gouvernement, de la Littérature, de cet Empire, des Mœurs et Coutumes des Habitants. This work, in five vols. in 18mo., contains many new notions and curious details, and does honour to the talent as well as to the erudition of the Orientalist.
