Notes: Text is in French. This 1811 edition is based on Chardin’s classic account of life and society in Persia complete with new plates coincided with renewed French imperial ambitions aimed at rivaling the British possessions in India. Chardin a Frenchman was the son of a jeweller. He set out in company with a Lyon merchant named Raisin in 1665 for Persia and India. After a highly successful journey during which he had received the patronage of Shah Abbas II of Persia he returned to France in 1670. He set out again for Persia in August 1671. This second journey was much more adventurous than the first and did not reach Isfahan till June 1673. In Isfahan he was appointed the Shah's personal jeweler by Suleiman I. During this time he was allowed to engage in an extended tour through much of Persia. Through the course of this tour Chardain was able to study the culture government and religion in detail. After four years spent in research throughout Persia he again visited India and returned to Europe. In 1681 he settled in London where he was appointed jeweller to the court of Charles II. Sir John Chardin's narrative has received the highest praise from the most competent authorities for its fullness comprehensiveness and fidelity; and it furnished Montesquieu Rousseau Gibbon and Helvétius with most important material.
