tion, went up North on Saturday, but could not dis
cover a weak spot in the Newcastle armour. The
defence of the Novocastrian^ when on their own turi
has been so far absolutely faultless, not a goal kavino
yet been placed to their debit. In this they stand
alone, and their record is certainly unique. Sheffield
United were on Saturday the first to bag a point, but
in doing this they also dropped one, because when last
on the same spot they won by two goals to one. The
Sheffielders, however, have still a couple in hand, anc
for a time at all events they seem to be quite securt
at the head of the League table.
How singular it is that when Liverpool do mak<
a move it should be at the expense of a club tha
mastered them in the corresponding fixture las'
season. In Notts County they were opposed by j
team whose defence is actually weaker than theii
own, and they turned the opportunity to profitabk
account. Nor was the game one of the commor
order by any means. The interval passed by without
a goal having been registered, yet in the end the
Anfielders were triumphant by three to one. More
over, the “ Lacemen ;; were the first to find the net,
so it will be readily understood that Liverpool went
at it hammer and tongs, and gave their antagonists
little quarter. Now that they have made a move,
let us hope that the sun will continue to shine upon
them, for they have no business at the wrong end of
the table.
Of the Lancashire representatives in the First
Division only Burnley, besides Liverpool, were re
warded with the coveted two points, and they had to
fight precious hard for these. The County Palatine
members are not setting an example to the world this
season by a long chalk, the majority being still below
the half-way mark. Bury struggled hard at Turf
Moor, but the home defence was always a wee bit

About this item
- Content
These two volumes are George Curzon's own personal annotated copies of both volumes of his book Persia and the Persian Question , which was published in 1892. Alongside the volumes are various loose papers relating to Persia [Iran], consisting of the following: received correspondence; newspaper cuttings; publishers' press releases; cuttings from various booksellers' catalogues; various journal and magazine articles; two items of printed official British correspondence; several prints of photographs and sketches; and a few handwritten notes by Curzon.
In most cases these papers, which range in date from 1892 to 1924, relate to the chapters in the book where they were originally inserted, suggesting that they were kept by Curzon with the intention of using them to inform a revised edition of the book.
Of particular note among the small amount of correspondence are two letters received by Curzon in 1914 and 1915 from retired schoolmaster and Islamic scholar Sayyid Mazhar Hasan Musawi of Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India (ff 5-9 and ff 44-53). These letters, which are written in Urdu and are accompanied by English translations, discuss in detail several inaccuracies found in the Urdu version of Persia and the Persian Question .
The various prints of photographs and sketches, which were originally inserted into volume two, are of different locations in the Gulf region. Several of these appear to have been produced in preparation for the publication of the second volume of John Gordon Lorimer's Gazetteer of the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. , Oman and Central Arabia (i.e. the 'Geographical and Statistical' section) in 1908, as they are identical to the versions found in that volume.
Also of note among the loose papers are an illustrated article from Country Life dated 5 June 1920, entitled 'The People of Persia' (ff 36-37), and a printed family tree of the Shah of Persia [Aḥmad Shah Qājār], produced in preparation of his visit to Britain in 1919 (f 233).
Volume one of Persia and the Persian Question contains a map of Persia, Afghanistan and Beluchistan [Balochistan], which is folded inside the front cover (f 1).
The German language material consists of a publisher's press release for two books authored by German archaeologist Ernst Emil Herzfeld (ff 29-30).
