- The text is in a style of dissident writing in the 19th century that creates a framework for criticism of the government and figures therein. The author wrote many historical works and was a person who was at the center of Iranian government. Here, he provides descriptions of personalities and events during the second half of the 19th century in Iran by inserting historical personalities and facts into a fantastical framework.
- Includes bibliographical references and index.
