Excerpt from Personal Narrative of a Journey From India to England: By Bussorah, Bagdad, the Ruins of Babylon, Curdistan, the Court of Persia, the Western Shore of the Caspian Sea, Astrakhan, Nishney Novogorod, Moscow, and St. Petersburgh, in the Year 1824

Looft Ali has been aptly compared to Richard Coeur de-lion of England, and Charles XII. Of Sweden, and he is still the subject of song and poetry in Persia. The usurper destroyed nearly all the members of the deposed family; the remainder, he dispersed over Mazanderaun. At the period of his father's overthrow, our royal ship mate was seven years old; his life was spared probably on account of his tender age; but the condition to which he was reduced by the barbarous policy of the conquer or, made the boon of little value.
