also added to those of Persia ; for as we approached the town, disciplined
troops lined the road to a considerable distance, and presented arms as
we passed, whilst a numerous band of drummers and fifers headed
our procession, playing country dances and reels in a manner truly
astonishing, when we considered that Persians were the performers.
Twenty guns were fired as a salute to the Ambassador on reaching the
house appointed for his habitation, in a style that would have done
credit to any artillery.
