Abbas Effendi Whom on Ramadan of 1328H (1910AD) left the city of `Akka and commenced traveling to various parts. He first went to Egypt, from there to Switzerland, and thence to London, Paris, returning back to Egypt. From there again at the beginning of the year 1912 AD, He voyaged to the north America and in the middle of the year arrived at New York. After travelling and preaching in many of the American cities, at the end of that same year, He returned to Europe and on the 14th of December arrived at Liverpool. From there, in the year 1913, He journeyed to many other European countries, including Germany, Austria and Hungary, and eventually by the middle of this year returned to Egypt and from there went forth to Haifa. From that date forward, He selected Haifa as oppose to `Akka as His headquarters. Therefore, in sum, the travels of `Abdu’l-Baha which were commenced at Ramadan 1328H when He first went from Palestine to Egypt and then to Europe and America, until Muharram 1332H [December 1913] when He returned back to Palestine took a total of two years, three months and some days.
The original Persian of this article by Muhammad Qazvini was printed in 1949 in Yadgar.
A good book outlining the activities of these two men–Muhammad Qazvini and Siyyid Hasan Taqizadeh–during that period is: “The Iranian Constitutional Revolution, 1906-1911″, Janet Afary, Columbia University Press, 1996
