To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His charming tones andi imploring utterances have much effect an his audience and men and women weep and strike against their bosoms.
Persia acknowledges Ali as the Caliph after Mohammed. The descendants of Ali are therefore held in high esteem and rank among the noblest families in Persia. They are called Say-yids (prophets or masters) and enjoy privileges denied other men. They are very zealous in perpetuating their own caste. From Ali's time they have kept a careful record of their geneaolgy.... This family record, called Sajjara, is handed down from father to son and serves as a credential to the Say-yid tribe. Each family must possess a credential of this kind, at least 200 years old. Should it be worn by age and use, the heads of families may draft copies and duly certify to them. The Say-yid may be easily distinguished by his garments. He wears a green turban and girdle. Should a common man assume to wear such he would be severely punished. The Say-yid's turban is to him more precious than a king's crown; it is the emblem of his glory— the girdle a symbol of strength.
