PRELIMINARY MATTER.
" was possible for them to do ; and yet, in the most
" important events of their lives and mine, they,
" like myself, preferred adopting the advice of some
" false knave, to following his wise and salutary
" councils. When my grandfather came up to
" Shiraz from Bussorah, Mirza Husain besought him,
" on his knees, to put the Vakeel's son, Abdul Faty
" Khan, on the throne, and keep the power of the
" State in his own hands, under the title of Guardian.
" My grandfather seized Abdul Faty Khan, deprived
" him of sight, and proclaimed himself king: this
" cost my grandfather his life. My father, when
" he imprisoned Syed Murad Khan and Hajy Aly
" Kuly, was advised by Lala to turn out of the
" haram the women who had formerly belonged to
" Syed Murad : this advice was not followed; and
" it cost my father his life. Before I marched to-
" wards Isfahan, Mirza Husain disclosed to me, in
" a manner I could not doubt, the designs of Hajy
" Ibrahim: he repeatedly begged of me to take
^ measures for my own security : he pushed this so
" far, as to displease me: I neglected his advice;
" and at this moment the neglect of it has cost me
" the throne. Is not this Fate ?"
I replied: " Whilst your majesty is alive, the
throne is yours." " True, true! yes, yes! but my
" present throne is Keraun's back; and my State,
" what you see here. Zal Khan would willingly
" have furnished me with better tents, and better
" equipage; but, till I have redeemed my own, I do
u not wish Lutf Aly to be better lodged than the
" humblest of his brave companions: besides. Sir,
" this is no more than the founder of our family.
