The Calcutta Review April 1897

1897

It consists of two parts the first being a history of the Moguls of Central Asia from about the middle of the 14th century and the second the history of the author's own times that is from iSoo to 1541. [...] The first part of the plan was to hide the boy in the house of a friend in Bukhara and at the same time make a show of flying from the place by night. [...] In his glory vanity and magnificence see how many royal families Shaht Beg Khan destroyed and the number of princely houses he annihilated ! In a short space of time he scattered to the wind of annihilation many governors and officials so that the dust of their existence formed towers ' on the plains of non-existence which reached up to the heavens and from the mists of their sighs a fright [...] Then again in the affairs of the State in important transactions in planning campaigns and forays(Kazakt) in archery in hunting in thetraining of falcons and in everything that is useful in the government of a kingdom the Khan was my instructor and patron. [...] The screeching of the owl in the wilderness is sweeter to our ear than the song of the nightingale in the grove.
