Though tracing the history of Persia (modern Iran) up to the Kajar rulers, this work is of principal interest for its study of ancient Persian history, from earliest times, through the Sassanian dynasty, up to the Arab conquest in the seventh century.

This work differs from other histories of Persia in giving more proportionate attention to the legendary period of her history than is usual with those who have dealt with this subject, as well as to the great career of the House of Sassan, which, in the opinion of the author, has never received full justice from those Christian historians who have undertaken a connected history of Persia. Contents: Feridoon; Zal; Rustem; Sohrab; Sohrab and Rustem; Siawusch; Kei Khosroo or Cyrus; from Cyrus to Darius I; Xerxes; Persia until the invasion of Alexander; Darius Codomanus and Alexander; Parthians; House of Sassan; Sapor I; Persia until the reign of Sapor II; from Sapor II to Chosroes I: Chosroes I, surnamed Anurshirwan; Chosroes Parveez; Mohammedan conquest of Persia; Persia under the Mohammedans.
