1 It is most unfortunate that some of the F.O. 416 Intelligence Summary references are inexact!

2 For further clarification, see C. Chaqueri, ed., La Social-Démocratie en Iran (Florence 1978).

3 Some suspect the author to have been Donald Wilbur, others think it was G. Lenczowski.

4 Comte Rochechouart, a French observer of the Iranian social scene in the middle of the nineteenth century, with whom Floor is familiar, writes that he in fact found Iranian workers (artisans) more literate than their French counterparts. The deterioration of workers’ conditions since the middle of the last century is, of course, most revealing. See Comte Julien de Rochechouart, Souvenirs d’un voyage en Perse (Paris 1967) 202-206.
