This paper describes in detail how a man of modest origin could raise himself to a prominent position in the Qajar political milieu. The early career of Ḥosein Qolī Ḫān-e Māfī (1832/3-1908) is discussed here. Analyzing his memoirs, Ḫâterât va Asnâd-e Ḥosein Qolī Ḫān Neẓâm al-Salṭaneh-ye Māfī, edited by Ma‘ṣumeh Etteḥādiyeh et al., 2nd ed., Teheran, 1362/1983-4, the author argues that, serving Solṭān Morād Mīrzā Ḥesām al-Salṭaneh (1818-1883), Ḥosein Qolī Ḫān did not only become quite experienced in administrative works, but also learned to act with great tact among men of power.
