FOOTNOTES:

[A] The retail prices given in this book with the description of each rug refer only to the different grades of such pieces which are ordinarily found in the market and in no way allude to antiques, upon which it would be impossible to set a fixed value.

[B] In 1892 Robson & Sons, of London, published a monograph on the Ardebil mosque carpet by Edward Stebbing, who describes it ably.

[C] In the Turkish and Persian languages the vowels are frequently silent and the characters do not stand for single consonants, but represent combinations of sounds as in short-hand, so that the same word is spelled in a great variety of ways when it is translated into English; therefore, the result is rather misleading, and each person must, to a certain extent, interpret the phonetic spelling to suit himself.

Transcriber's Notes:

Combined left sides (pg. 223a and 223c)
and right sides (pg. 223b and 223d) for better readability.

Tried to reduce width of table(s) on pages 223a - 223d.

Obvious typographical errors have been silently corrected, but other variations in spelling and punctuation remain unchanged.
