"The happy reign of this excellent prince, as contrasted with those who preceded and followed
him, affords to the historian of Persia that kind of mixed pleasure and repose, which a traveller
enjoys, on arriving in a beautiful and fertile valley, during an arduous journey over barren and
rugged wastes"
- Sir John Malcolm, British Ambassador
