Paris: Ernest Leroux, 1905. Traduction francaise par Hippolyte Dreyfus et M. Habib-Ullah Chirazi. 12mo. 116pp. Contemporary half pebbled cloth, marbled paper boards. Ex-library, with numbers on spine, bookplate on front pastedown and pocket on rear pastedown. Aside from this, a trace of wear to spine ends. The paper is brittle; the front preliminary blank has detached and is laid in; text block lightly browned at edges; else a very good copy. A very early, and probably the first French translation, of the works of the founder of the Baha'i faith, Baha'u'llah (1817-1892). Quite scarce.
