IT IS THE STORY OF THE CAREER OF THIS SOUTHERN EXPEDITION WHICH IS TOLD IN GRIESINGER'S
DIARY. IT CONSISTED OF DR. ZUGMAYER AND GRIESINGER HIMSELF. WITH THEM WENT SOME TURKISH
AGENTS AND INDIAN SEDITION-MONGERS, AND AN ESCORT OF PERSIAN CUT-THROATS, REBELS
AGAINST THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT.
GRIESINGER7S OWN OPINION OF THESE IMMEDITE FOLLOWERS OF THEIRS IS FREQUENTLY EXPRESSED
IN THE DIARY. HE CALLS THEM IN ONE PLACE "OUR DIRTY BEASTS" GRIESINGER
IN FACT, IS A VERY INTERESTING FIGURE OF A GERMAN INTRIGUER, AT ONCE BRUTAL AND HYSTERICAL,
STOPPING AT NO OUTRAGE, BUT FLYING INTO PAROXYSMS OF ANGER, "FOAMING WITH RAGE"
(IT IS IN HIS OWN PHRASE), WHEN HIS PLANS FAIL.
HE DOES NOT CEASE TO ABUSE HIS OWN ALLIES, HE CALLS AN INDIAN REVOLUTIONARY COMMITTEE
"THESE GREASY BLACKGUARDLY BENGAL REVOLUTIONARIES", AND HE IS CONTINIUALLY
ABUSING THE PERSIANS WITH GREAT COARSENESS BUT LITTLE VARIETY. HE CALLS THEM "THESE
BEASTLY PEOPLE" "THIS FOUL PACK" "THESE LOW FILTHY SWINE".
THIS IS A LITTLE BOOKLET IN BROWN SOFT COVER WITH USUAL SHELFWEAR AND DISCOLORING
OF PAGES DUE TO AGING. THERE IS A STAMP MARK ON THE FRONT COVER AS SEEN.
