Abstract
The English physician C.J. Wills (1842–1912) left an account of his fifteen years' experiences, from 1866 to 1881, as a medical officer for the Indo-European Telegraph Department, mainly in Hamadan, Isfahan and Shiraz. It gives much information on Persian provincial social life in the middle years of Nāṣir al-Dīn Shāh's reign, with sidelights on the local customs, religious communities and popular attitudes, and various items of this information are set out in this paper.
