- ABSTRACT of PAPERS relating to the Succession to the Throne of Persia, and the Nomination of a Regent.
- Scope & Content:
-
Confidential printed memorandum. The memorandum is divided into the following sections:
- 'Memorandum on the Succession to the Throne of Persia (folios 9-13);

The memorandum discusses the competing claims of potential successors to the throne of Persia following the death of Abbas Mirza in 1833 (1834-59); and the question of the appointment of Bahman Mirza as regent, and once in office, whether he would favour the influence of Russia or the United Kingdom in Persia (1852-57).
