establish the accuracy of my information; nor have I ever advanced
any statement upon doubtful or suspicious authority.
This work was originally published in India. The numerous and
- absurd errors of the press, which were observable in every page of
it, have induced the author to print it afresh, and he trusts he has
rendered his work more worthy of public approbation. The sub
ject of the Gaurs, or ancient inhabitants of Persia, appeared to me
to have been exhausted; and I refrained from noticing a subject
which has been so amply discussed by Sir J. Chardin. Since this
work was printed, I have seen a knowledge of the ancient language
of Persia, ascribed to the late Mehdee Ulee Khan: a knowledge as
chimerical as his imputed virtues. His knowledge is said to have
admirably qualified him for adjusting the discrepancies which
have crept into the accounts of the Byzantine and early Mahometan
historians. Admitting his acquaintance with the ancient language
of Persia, I deny his ability of rectifying the contradictory accounts
of the Greek and Mooslim writers: from what source was he to
derive his knowledge ? but the same profound wisdom which created
his knowledge, might likewise create for him materials. But I deny
his knowledge of the language, for it had ceased to exist in the
time of Chardin *
* Sir William Ousely believes that there are many works still existing in the ancient
language of Persia, and many stupendous monuments of antiquity which have been unnoticed
by European travellers. To satisfy himself upon this subject, he has resolved upon visiting
Persia. His intention may remind us of the spectators visiting Cairo to measure the pyramids.f
f I cannot see that this is an unjust sarcasm upon Mr. Greaves; the accuracy of his mea
surement is now denied.
