This passange which is a chaprer of "shi"ah Religion" deals with topics such as the geographical position of Karbala, the importance of pilgrimage to the city, Karbala as viewed by geographers and travelers, Imam Husayn's pilgrimage and mourning and a general description of Karbala. The author is a pioneer of Imami studies in the English - speaking West. Though this work is dated (1933), as explained at another point, it is still looked upon as a reference by Western researchers and those interested in shi'ah studies. Meanwhile, at points, the translator has tried to clarify and correct the author's inaccurate understanding of shi'i rituals.
