DYNASTY OF THE KAJARS.
299
Aristoo * : he was renowned for justice and praise
worthy manners, and applauded for the qualities
of mercy and humility. This great man, from
the first dawn of the world-bestowing, world-pos
sessing monarch's elevation f, had, by his honest
mind, pure disposition, and virtuous morals, always
rendered himself the medium of maintaining good
faitli and peace between the empire of Iran and
the family of Othman ; and always kept in view the
mode of maintaining peace and concord between
the two States. The pens ^ of the news-reporters
acquainted him with the results of Aly
Pasha
An Ottoman title used after the names of certain provincial governors, high-ranking officials and military commanders.

t i.e. from the accession of Faty Aly Shah to the crown of Persia.
+ " The pens of the news-writers" and " the pen of description."
—I find in a Note in page 48 of the Life of Lope de Vega, by Lord
Holland, what is curious enough. Speaking of Luzan's Criticism
on a Sonnet of Gongora, my Lord says. The Reader will there
find that " the pen of the Historian opens the gates of Memory"
and that " Memory stamps shadows on mounds of foam." " By
" these expressions, Gongora means to give a poetical description
" of the art of writing on paper." I am not sufficiently acquainted
with the Spanish language to know whether these expressions are
idiomatical, or whether they ought to be considered as an impres
sion which the Arabic has left on the Spanish idiom. However, I
have no doubt my Readers w ill agree with me, that Lord Holland's
remarks on several Spanish writers of this class are equally appli
cable to Persian authors. " These authors do not avail themselves
" of the invention of letters for the purpose of conveying, but con-
" cealing their ideas. The art of writing reduces itself with them
" to the talent of perplexing and puzzling; and they require in
' their readers a degree of ingenuity at least equal to their own."
I am also apprehensive the Reader, before he arrives at this page
has more than once exclaimed,
" Si non vis intelligi, non debes legi."
Hie Reader has been told, that a play on words is frequently used
1Q the original Persian Text: he will find this also considered as a
beauty
