proper, i.e., of the district dependent on the towns of Baghdad and
Basrah^ wag estimated at £17^030 per annum by Mr. Fraser, who
thought that under an efficient administration it might yield not less than
£1,380,337 a year. The actual value of the European imports brought
to Baghdad from Aleppo and Damascus, by such caravans as were able

Relations of Turkish 'Iraq with Persia, 1807-39.
Two wars with Persia which occurred upon the Kurdish frontier are
described, from the Persian point of view, in the chapter on the history
of the Persian Coast. According to another authority, not followed in
that place, the treatment of Persian pilgrims in Turkish territory was the
cause of the war of 1821-1823, and it came to an end, in consequence
of a cholera epidemic, without any decided success having been gained by
the Persians. The Turko-Persian frontier was adjusted after this second
war by the First Treaty of Erzeroum (28th July!823) ; it re-established
the boundary agreed on in 1639 and at the same time decided a number
of contentious questions relating to pilgrims and trade.

was inflicting on Basrah and tempted, doubtless, by the opposition which
existed between the Muhaisin Shaikh of Muhammareh and his overlord
