FOOTNOTES:

[1] See Chapter XII. p. 220-3.

[2] The Editor is further responsible for the account of the pirates, and of _Shapour_; and for the notes, except those within inverted commas, which are taken from MSS. of Mr. MORIER.

[3] The _Cadjars_, according to OLIVIER, are a tribe of Turkish origin, who took refuge in Persia under the reign of SHAH ABBAS I. and received there the name of _Cadjars_ or fugitives. See FOSTER, ii. 198. The historians of NADIR SHAH mention (as one of the chiefs of that tribe, in the time of SHAH TAHMAS,) FUTTEH ALI KHAN. OLIVIER states that in 1723 he was nominated to the government of _Mazanderan_; and that, when NADIR SHAH assumed the crown, he resisted his authority, was defeated and killed. In JONES’S NADIR, lib. i. c. xi. there appears a FETHALI KHAN, whose history accords better with the allusion in the text, p. 242. Compare the PHATALI KHAN of BELL, vol. i. and FRASER’S NADIR SHAH, p. 89. His eldest son was MAHOMED HASSAN KHAN, whose pretensions and rise and fall are stated fully by OLIVIER, vol. vi. 13-17-82, and whose history, (under his various names of BABA KHAN, MUMTAZ KHAN, FULTRA ALLA KHAN, &c.) is noticed in FRANKLIN, p. 299. IVES, p. 220. FOSTER, vol. ii. 199. TOOKE’S CATHERINE, ii. 60, SCOTT WARING, &c. &c.

[4] ISMAEL was said by his first patron, ALI MERDAN KHAN BACKTYARI, to be the son of SEYD MOUSTAPHA, by a daughter of SHAH HUSSEIN. OLIVIER, vi. 21. He was the pageant recognised by three several competitors; he was first proclaimed King by ALI MERDAN, again in 1756, by KERIM; and a third time, in the same year, by MAHOMED HASSAN, who, like his immediate rivals, and like NADIR, still in his first successes professed himself to be the slave of the rightful monarch.

[5] “He made no scruple of avowing that in his youth he pursued the occupation of a robber; and that his fore teeth had been demolished by the kick of an ass which _he_ had stolen and was carrying off.” FOSTER’S Travels, vol. ii. p. 241.

[6] The treaty forms the Appendix to General MALCOLM’S Political History of India, p. 533-549.

[7] The _Malana_ of VINCENT’S NEARCHUS, p. 197. HORSEBURGH notices it very slightly, “in coasting to the westward from _Hinglah_, another point called _Muran_ is discerned.” p. 231. “Directions, &c.”

[8] The log of the Nereide, Sept. 26th, seems to refer to it, as “the above island.”

[9] In 1581, the Portuguese (according to their historian FARIA y SOUSA) after having surprised and burnt “the beautiful and rich city _Pesani_,” destroyed “_Guadel_, not inferior.” _Asia Portuguesa_, vol. ii. 373. They appear to have had afterwards a settlement there themselves; vol. iii. p. 416; which before 1613 had probably been resumed from its European possessors, for HERBERT in passing it, observes, “beware by Sir ROBERT SHERLYE’S example of Cape _Guader_ *** an infamous port and inhabited by a perfidious people. Under pretext of amity they allured SHERLYE and his lady ashoare, A. 1613; where but for a Hodgee that understood their drift and honestly revealed it, they had been murdered with NEWPORT their captaine; and merely to play the theeves with them.” Herbert’s Travels, p. 113. Ed. 1638.

[10] JACKSON mentions in 1797 one of his ships, which carried upwards of a thousand men.--Journey, p. 8.

[11] Probably the ruins of Reshire.

[12] NIEBUHR, who allots a separate chapter to these Arab powers (“etats independans aux environs du Golfe Persique”) attracts our attention to their fate principally by the remark, “En un mot, le gouvernement et les mœurs de ces Arabes ressemblent beaucoup a ceux des anciens Grecs.” But he adds, “mais ils manquent d’historiens pour decrire leurs guerres et pour celebrer leurs héros: voila pourquoi ils ne sont pas connus hors de leur pays.” Description de l’Arabie, p. 270.

[13] The event is related by OLIVIER. Voyage, tom. vi. p. 215.

[14] Extract from a translation of the History of the ZUND Family, from the death of KERIM KHAN to the accession of AGA MAHOMED KHAN KADJAR by ALI REZA IBN ABDUL KERIM of _Shiraz_.

[15] “Consisting of the Arab tribes of _Dumoag_, _Beenee Hajir_, _Hyat Daaod_, and others.”

[16] HANWAY limits the functions; “the officer who makes seizures,” vol. ii. p. 372: see also ABDUL KURREEM, p. 14. Both authorities connect rank and importance to the situation. In the East, indeed, the duties even of an executioner appear to have been held in very different estimation from that which is attached to them in Europe. “Les Bourreaux en Georgie,” says TOURNEFORT, “sont fort riches, et les gens de qualité y exercent cette charge; bien loin qu’elle soit reputée infame, comme dans tout le reste du monde, c’est un titre glorieux en ce pays-là pour les familles. On s’y vante d’avoir eû plusieurs bourreaux parmi ses ancestres, et ils se fondent sur le principe qu’il n’y a rien de si beau que d’executer la justice, sans laquelle on ne sçauroit vivre en seûreté. Voilá une maxime bien digne des Georgiens.” Tom. II. 311. “ARIOCH, the Captain of the King’s Guard,” (of _Babylon_, DAN. II. 14.) is yet stiled by the _Chaldee_ in the margin, “Chief of the Executioners or Slaughter-men.”

[17] “_Jooyum_ is the district where the Tobacco grows, and it is understood that the trade there is managed by its proprietor dextrously and profitably.”

[18] “The _Sheik_, indeed, had given cause of complaint to Brigadier-General MALCOLM before the arrival of His Majesty’s Mission.”

[19] “He was originally a _Moonshee_, who got his bread by transcribing books and writing letters for money. He taught Sir HARFORD JONES, when a young man at _Bussora_, to read and write Arabic and Persian. He afterwards became a merchant, selling small articles in the _Bazar_ at _Bushire_, and being fortunate in his early trade, extended his speculations still more largely and successfully: till, when an embassy to _Calcutta_ was projected by the King of Persia, he was enabled to appear (according to the report of his countrymen) as the highest bidder for the office, and was consequently invested with it. Having enriched himself enormously by his mission, he has yet never failed to complain before the King, of the evil stars which, by leading him to accept such a situation, had reduced him to beggary.”

[20] When AMURATH I. instituted the _Janizaries_, a celebrated Dervish pronounced this blessing over the new corps: “Let them be called Janizaries (_Yengi Cheris_, or new soldiers) may their countenance be ever bright! their hand victorious! their sword keen! may their spears always hang over the heads of their enemies! and wheresoever they go, may they return with a _white face_.” GIBBON’S note illustrates the text by the Roman phrase, Hic _niger_ est, hunc tu, Romane, caveto. Vol. VI. p. 320, 4to.

[21] “A circumstance, connected with the more permanent superstitions of Persia, occurred during the first part of our stay at _Bushire_, which may be worth mentioning. A _Derveish_ settled himself for many days at the door of the Assistant Resident’s house, and did not quit it till he had extorted from the Envoy a donation of ten rupees. These men wander about from place to place; and, as their demands are sanctioned by long usage, they levy wherever they go, their established dues.[*] Mr. BRUCE told me, that on his first arrival in the country, a _Derveish_ came to him and asked the sum of ten piastres; he was refused, but he persisted that he would not depart till he should receive it. He accordingly stationed himself at the door, and commenced his conjuring, crying ‘_Hag, Hag, Hag_,’ unceasingly for days and nights, till he had worked himself up into a frenzy, in which his cries became quite horrible. To get rid of such a nuisance, Mr. BRUCE was glad at last to pay the price which his tormentor originally charged. Mr. MANESTY, the East India Company’s Resident at _Bussorah_, was attacked more formidably, and defended himself with more perseverance, but without better success. A _Derveish_ demanded a hundred piastres, and being of course refused, settled himself at the door, and remained there two years, when Mr. MANESTY was at last forced to yield, and paid the full sum required.

[*LORD TEIGNMOUTH, in an interesting Paper in the Asiat. Res. IV. p. 334-5, mentions a similar custom (“_sitting Dherna_”) in a different religion. “Brahmins even in _Calcutta_ have been known to obtain charity or subsistence from the Hindus, by posting themselves before the door of their houses, under a declaration to remain there until their solicitations were granted.” The religious mendicants of India have sometimes assembled in a body of 5000 men.]

“From Mr. BRUCE also I learned the following more curious tale. Mr. HANKEY SMITH since he has been the Resident at _Bushire_, was told that a _Derveish_ wished to see him: but believing that he was one of those, who make these tours of licensed pillage through the country, he desired that the man might be sent away with the customary and unavoidable donation of a few piastres. He was informed however, that his visitor was no common _Derveish_; that he was in fact the _Peish-namaz_ (the Chief Priest) of _Bushire_, and a man of corresponding reputation among his people. The stranger was accordingly admitted and received with every civility. In a second visit he asked so many questions about _Calcutta_, Mr. HASTINGS, and his trial, and other subjects which were equally new in the conversation of a _Derveish_, that the Resident candidly told him, that he believed him to be no Mussulman. The conjecture was well-founded: the _Peish-Namaz_ immediately acknowledged that he was a Frenchman of the name of TALAMASH; that he had served the English government under Mr. HASTINGS, and having received some disgust, had quitted _Calcutta_; and since that time had done nothing but travel. He had been all over India, thence to Cashmire, and had resided a long time at _Cabul_ in the court of ZEMAUN SHAH; and had traversed the greater part of Persia, in every place imposing himself upon the people as the devoutest of the true believers. He was a very intelligent man, and had particularly made himself master of all the secrets of the _Affghan_ politics, and had acquired a possession of the languages so complete and correct, that the finest native ear could detect no foreign accent. Probably no European ever saw so much of Asia, or saw it to such advantage. From _Bushire_ he went to _Bahrein_, where also he was made the _Peish-Namaz_. From _Bahrein_ he proceeded to _Surat_; where his varied and accurate knowledge of the manners, customs, and languages of all the different nations and classes in the mixed population of that city, divided, according to Mr. BRUCE, the opinions of the people; and made the Arabs claim him as an original Arab; the Persians, as a Persian; and the Mussulmans of Hindoostan as equally their own. From this place M. TALAMASH addressed the English government of India, and conveyed to them more particularly his knowledge of the views of the _Affghan_ court: but his communications did not receive the attention which he expected, and being left without the hope of employment again in India, he repaired to the _Mauritius_. There he associated with a band of adventurers like himself, fitted out a small vessel as a privateer, and went into the Red Sea. But here he fell in with the _Leopard_, Admiral BLANKET; and thinking her an Indian ship, made an attempt to board her, and was of course taken. He was then sent to Bombay, and thence got once more to the _Mauritius_, from which time nothing more has been heard of him.

“This is a very rare instance of the successful assumption by an European of an Eastern character. I have known, in Turkey, several renegado Englishmen, who could never sufficiently disguise themselves to be taken for original Mussulmans.”

It must be understood, however, that TALAMASH is believed to have been born at _Constantinople_, of a French father indeed, yet from his earliest youth to have been unfettered by a conformity to European usages.

“H. M. S. _Nereide_, Thursday, 21 Oct. 1808.

“At 9. A. M. saw two dows standing towards us under Arabian colours. 10.30. saw a strange sail S. S. E. Employed working up junk, &c. Noon: the above vessel past us, which proved to be the Honourable Company’s schooner _Sylph_. P. M. moderate breezes and fine. 1.30. observed the dows haul-up and board the schooner; in studding sails, and haul’d our wind in chase of them: by this time they had the schooner in tow. Tacked occasionally to close. At 4. got within gun-shot and commenced firing. 4.30. observed the schooner’s tow-rope gone, supposed by our shot; still keeping a constant fire on the dows. 5.30. shot away one of the dow’s yards. At 6. ditto, firing whenever the guns would bear: observed the schooner make signals of distress, and fire guns. The crew immediately deserted the dow when the yard was shot away, and went on board the other; continuing firing within musket shot round grape and musketry; hailed her repeatedly, but received no answer. At 8. ceased firing; the dows apparently sinking: made sail for the schooner: at 9. hove-to, and sent a boat for the commander of the schooner; he being severely wounded, gave Lieutenant C---- charge of the schooner, but returned with a seapoy severely wounded.”

[37] “At _Kashan_, according to the second Minister of the kingdom, who seemed devoutly to credit his own story, is a well, which _we_ did not see. There is a descent of six months to the bottom, and in the different stages of the journey the traveller comes to plains and rivers. Some have gone down and never appeared again. These are tales which to a Persian are not incredible, though they will not believe that the streets of London are lighted, or that there are in Europe houses seven stories high.”

The same derivation of the name from the qualities of the situation is given by Sir WILLIAM JONES--“_Tab_ signifies a _fever_, and _riz_ is the participle of _rêkhten_ to _disperse_. There was an ancient city which stood nearly in the same place, and is called Ταβρὶς by PTOLEMY.”--_Description of Asia subjoined to the “Histoire de Nader Chah:” Works_, Vol. V. p. 570.

[41] “The sea of _Kulzum_,” is more appropriated by the generality of Eastern authors to the Arabian Gulph, to which, indeed, it is said to be attached, from the place of the same name on the shores; yet it is applied to the Caspian in a Persian map copied in the Oriental Collections, Vol. III. p. 76: and KHOJEH ABDULKURREEM, while he states that “the proper sea of _Kulzum_ is in the Turkish empire,” admits that “the people of _Ashreff_” affix the name to the Caspian, p. 94. London Edit. 1793: and in a note to ABULGHAZI KHAN’S History of the Tartars, the French Editor mentions it as the general designation among the Persians. p. 645.

[42] See before p. 317. The same name seems to be applied to the sources of the _Euphrates_ and of the _Araxes_; which both rise on opposite directions from the same mountains.

[43] It is the ancient _Lycus_.

[44] The Turks in their way have retained so many ancient names, that _Neocæsarea_ may be easily recognised under the name of _Niksar_.--D’ANVILLE, Geogr. Anc. tom. ii. p. 34. It is interesting as the city and bishoprick of ST. GREGORY THAUMATURGUS; who found there but seventeen Christians, and left there but seventeen Pagans. He resolved to build a church in his city:--“Ce qui n’estoit pas extraordinaire en ce temps la, et on avoit toute liberté d’en bastir sous Philippe, qui commença a regner en 241. _Mais celle ci est la premiere dont l’histoire nous donne une connaissance certaine et expresse._”--TILLEMONT, Memoires Eccles: de VI. Premiers Siecles. Vol. III. p. 329-30.

[45] This is possibly a part of the celebrated _Comana Pontica_, which is placed upon the _Iris_, the modern _Tozzan Irmak_.--See D’ANVILLE’S Geogr. Ancienne 1768. tom. ii. p. 38.

[55] The first mention of the _Wahabees_, is in NIEBUHR, Description de l’Arabie, p. 17, p. 296-302: and GIBBON first noticed the singular co-incidence, that they sprung from the same province, _Nedsjed_, in which MOSEILAMA the great contemporary adversary of MAHOMED, had propagated his faith, vol. v. p. 277. It may be added, that the _Carmathians_, who triumphed over the _Mahomedans_, like the _Wahabees_ of the present day, and like them took _Mecca_, (and plundered it indeed much more effectually than their successors are said to have done) in the same manner took possession first of the provinces on the Persian Gulph. See GIBBON, v. 449. SALE’S Koran, p. 184. D’OHSSON, Tableau de l’Empire Ottoman, tom. i. p. 105.

[56] It is not clear that _Egmaun_ is rightly placed in the text, p. 44. Our late expedition has furnished us with a knowledge of the Persian Gulph, which will rectify many important errors. The coast from _Khor Hassan_ is said to have been laid down forty-eight miles too much to the south.

[80] DE SACY indeed, in the suite to his “Memoire sur les Medailles des Sassanides,” p. 203-10, assigns all the medals on Plate VI. to SAPOR II. and those on Plate VIII. to SAPOR III. but the resemblance is so strong, (particularly in No. 3. of Plate VI.) between the figure on the coin, and that in the sculpture No. X. that the identity can hardly be doubted; and that the figure in the sculpture is SAPOR I. may be inferred from the inscription at _Nakshi Rustum_, as well as from the general history.
