Our Recent Progress in Southern Persia, and Its Possibilities

H. R Sykes, British Conservative politician and writer on travel and regional geography, provides a detailed account of Southern Persia and its recent socio-economic development and its prospects. Sykes discusses the people, religions and customs of southern Persia; labour and agriculture; industry and crafts; transport and communication; and touches on the oil-bearing regions. Our Recent Progress in Southern Persia and Its Possibilities is not a tourist guide but rather a broad and informative overview of the region's potential for capital investment.
