I am very anxious to get as accurate an account of all
the details connected with the [faith of the Báb] as possible, for in my eyes
the whole [story] seems one of the most interesting and important events that
has occurred since the rise of Christianity -- and I feel it my duty, as well
as my pleasure, to try as far as in me lies to bring the matter to the notice
of my countrymen -- for suppose anyone could tell us more about the childhood
and early life and appearance of Christ, for instance, how glad we should be to
know it. Now it is impossible to find out much -- but in the case of the Báb it
is possible -- So let us earn the thanks of posterity, and provide against that
day now.
- E.G. Browne of Cambridge University (Quoted by Lady Blomfield in 'The Chosen
Highway')
