Britain, in the Qajar era, through its colonial purposes, monitored Iran under any circumstances. In the era of Nasir al-Din Shah, many foreign ambassadors missioned for political and economic purposes in Iran, Britain also sent several ambassadors to Iran. In pursuing the responsibilities assigned to them, the British agents have carefully considered all other dimensions of Iran's economic, social and cultural aspects, in line with the interests of their own government. Although English agents were not free of interest in Iranian culture, they needed to know enough about Iran's ethics and traditions in order to carry out political services for their own government. This research aimed at answering the question that: How are the ethics and habits of Iranians from the point of view of British political agents during Nasir al-Din Shah era?
