"A Journey through Persia, Armenia, and Asia Minor, to Constantinople" by James Justinian Morier is a detailed record of the author's travels as part of a British embassy to Persia in the early 1800s. Serving as His Majesty’s Secretary of Embassy, Morier vividly recounts his journey from Bombay, across the Arabian Sea, to Bushire, capturing his firsthand experiences and observations of the landscapes, cultures, and political intricacies of Persia, Armenia, and Asia Minor as he travels to Constantinople. The journey begins with the author setting the stage by highlighting the lack of knowledge about Persia and documenting the ruins and sculptures he plans to observe. Through interactions with local leaders and encounters with striking scenery, Morier paints a rich picture of a critical era.
