This Tablet may possibly be in the "exhortation" mode, as it is, I feel, addressed beyond the recipient of the Tablet, to all other Babis, and is a call for them to recognize Baha'u'llah.
However, that portion of the Tablet to which I refer, where Baha'u'llah assumes the voice of the Bab, is the matter I am still interested in knowing more about. I realize that when Baha'u'llah addresses a city or a mountain, like Constantinople or Zion, as if it possessed human qualities, this is called an "apostrophe". What I don't know is what it's called when the voice is someone else's. Maybe it's also an apostrophe, I don't know.
