Excerpt from Proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society of London, Vol. 3: Session 1858-9, Nos. I to Vi
The principal object of our excursion, of which the following is a brief sketch, was to determine the exact elevation of the Peak of Demavend, a point which has never, we believe, been satisfactorily ascertained. But before doing so, we proposed making a short circuit through the mountainous districts north of the Elburz, a. Locality little frequented even by Persians, and almost entirely unknown to Europeans.
