THE BÁB: NEWSPAPER ARTICLES AND OTHER PUBLICATIONS PUBLISHED 1845-1859 Jan Teofil Jasion 2019-12-26 Introduction These are only some of the articles that were published during the lifetime of the Báb and the heroic years following His martyrdom. The list represents some 1,490 articles mainly from newspapers but also includes journals, books and a few reference works. This survey is limited mainly to Western Europe, the United States, Australia and New Zealand with articles from a few other regions. Completely missing are articles from Africa, South America, the Middle East and the Far East. This list was composed on bases established by the pioneering work of Moojan Momen (UK), Thomas Linard (France), Amín Egea (Spain) and Steven Kolins (US). These articles confirm the three criteria for the spreading of His Word mentioned by Shoghi Effendi in God Passes By, namely: reaching Western Europe; made known in the capital cities of Europe; and the raising of its head in the mid-most point of the ocean. The last is very moving indeed, since the list shows articles published in the Mediterranean Sea (Majorca), in the Irish Sea (Isle of Man), the Caribbean Sea (Puerto Rico, the Bahamas and Curaçao), the Pacific Ocean (Hawaii, New Zealand and Tasmania), the Indian Ocean (Java) and on islands fringing both coasts of the Atlantic Ocean (Newfoundland and Ireland). The survey has reached a point were it can be said that by 1857 in the British Isles the vast majority of the literate population would have heard of the Báb and His followers. It should be noted that the criteria in including the articles, was that they should either mentions the Báb by name; use the word Bábís or something similar, “Babys,” “Babees”, etc.; or mention by name one of His followers. Those reports on the attempted assassination of the shah in 1852 which did not adhere to the above criteria were excluded. * Indicates facsimile copy available on the Internet Part I: 1845-1850 1845 November 1. “Persia.” The Times (London) (Nov. 1, 1845), p. 5.* [from Bushier, Aug. 1] 6. “Persia.” The Bradford Observer and Halifax, Huddersfield and Keighley Reporter (Bradford, England) (Nov. 6, 1845), p. 7.* 15. “Mahometan Schism.” The Literary Gazette and Journal of the Belles Lettres, Arts, Sciences, &c.
