Ch.XXII, p.475, f.2
"When Aqa Khan had verified the disappearance of the rebel, he gave a
sigh of relief. Besides, he felt that to pursue the fugitives would
involve some peril and that, therefore, it would be infinitely more
practical, more beneficial, more profitable and less dangerous to torture
the Babis, or those presumed to be Babis--provided that they were
wealthy--who had remained in the city. He sought out the most prosperous,
ordered their execution, and confiscated their possessions, avenging thus
his outraged religion, a matter perhaps of little concern to him, and
filling his coffers, which pleased him immensely." (A. L. M. Nicolas'
"Siyyid Ali-Muhammad dit le Bab," p. 391.)
