Young Arab! when she wrote upon thy brow, etc. «The Mahummedans believe, that the decreed events every man's life are impressed in divine characters on The springs of bitumen called Oyun Hit, the fountains of Hit, are much celebrated by the Arabs and Persians; the latter call it Cheshmeh kir, the fountain of pitch. This liquid bitumen they call Nafta; and the Turks, to distinguish it from pitch, give it the name of hara sakiz, or black mastich. A Persian geographer says, that Nafta issues out of the springs of the earth, as amber-his forehead, though not to be seen by mortal eye. Hence they use the word Nussceb, anglicé stamped, for destiny. Most probably the idea was taken up by Mahummed from the sealing of the Elect, mentioned in All the modern grise issues out of those of the sea. of the revelations.»-Note to the Bahar-Danush. «The scribe of decree chose to ornament the edicts on my forehead with these flourishes of disgrace.»>Bahar-Danush. The Spanish Physiognomical phrase, traerlo escrito en la frente, to have it written on the forehead, is perhaps of Arabian origin. Rajah Chunder of Cashmeer was blest with a Vizier, endowed with wisdom and fidelity; but the wicked, envying his virtues, propagated unfavourable reports regarding him. On these occasions the great are generally staggered in their opinions, and make no use of their reason; forgetting every thing which they have read in history on the direful effects of envy. Thus Rajah Burjin gave ear to the stories fabricated against his vizier, and dismissed him from his office. The faithful vizier bore his disgrace with the utmost submission; but his enemies, not satisfied with what they compassed against him, represented to the Rajah that he was plotting to raise himself to the throne; and the deluded prince ordered him to be crucified. cution, the Vizier's peer (his spiritual guide) passed the corpse, and read it decreed in his forehead as follows: «That he should be dismissed from his office, be sent to Hit, Heit, Eit, Ait, or Idt, as it is variously written by travellers, is a great Turkish town, situate upon the right or west side of the Euphrates, and has a castle; to the south-west of which, and three miles from the town, in a valley, are many springs of this black substance; each of which makes a noise like a smith's forge, incessantly puffing and blowing out the matter so loud, that it may be heard a mile off: wherefore the Moors and Arabs call | it Bab al Jehannam that is, hell gate. It swallows up all heavy things; and many camels, from time to time, fall into the pits, and are irrecoverably lost. It issues from a certain lake, sending forth a filthy smoke, and continually boiling over with the pitch, which spreads itself over a great field, that is always full of it. It is free for every one to take: they use it to caulk or pitch their boats, laying it on two or three inches thick; which keeps out the water: with it also they pitch their houses, made of palm-tree branches. If it was not that the inundations of the Euphrates carry away the pitch, which covers all the sands from the place where it rises to the river, there would have been mountains of it long since. The very ground and stones thereabouts afford bitumen; and the fields abundance of salt-petre.ation of his life, till one night the aerial spirits assembled -Universal History. Note 16, page 111, col. 2. And dropping their beads fast, etc. The Mussulmauns use, like the Roman Catholics, a rosary of beads, called Tushah, or implement of praise. It consists, if I recollect aright, of ninety-nine beads; in dropping which through the fingers, they repeat the attributes of God, as «O Creator, O Merciful, O Forgiving, O Omnipotent, O Omniscient,» etc., etc. This act of devotion is called Taleel, from the repetition of the letter L, or Laum, which occurs in the word Allah, (God), always joined to the epithet or attribute, as Ya Allah Khalick, O God, the Creator; Ya Allak Kerreem, O God, the Merciful, etc., etc. The devotees may be seen muttering their beads as they walk the streets, and in the intervals of conversation in company. The rosaries of persons of fortune and rank have the beads of diamonds, pearls, rubies, and emeralds. Those of the humble are strung with berries, coral, or glass-beads. Note to the Bahar-Danush. The ninety-nine beads of the Mahommedan rosary are divided into three equal lengths by a little string, at the end of which hangs a long piece of coral, and a large A short time after the exe prison, and then crucified; but that, after all, he should be restored to life, and obtain the kingdom.» Astonished at what he beheld, he took down the body from the cross, and carried it to a secret place.

He shortly after mounted the throne, but, despising worldly pomp, soon abdicated it.-Ayeen Akbery. Note 18, page 112, col. 1. Zobak keeps the cave, etc. Zohak was the fifth King of the Pischadian dynasty, lineally descended from Shedad, who perished with the tribe of Ad. Zohak murdered his predecessor, and invented the punishments of the cross, and of fleaing alive. The Devil, who had long served him, requested at last as a recompense, permission to kiss his shoulders; immediately two serpents grew there, who fed upon his flesh, and endeavoured to get at his brain. The Devil now suggested a remedy, which was to quiet them by giving them every day the brains of two men, killed for that purpose: this tyranny lasted long; till a blacksmith of Ispahan, whose children had been nearly all slain to feed the King's serpents, raised his leathern apron as the standard of revolt, and deposed Zohak. Zohak, say the Persians, is still living in the cave of his punishment; a sulphureous vapour issues from the place; and, if a stone be flung in, there comes out a voice and cries, Why dost thou fling stones at me? This cavern is in the mountain of Demawend, which reaches from that of Elwend, towards Teheran.-D'Herbelot. Olearius. Note 19, page 112, col. 1. The salutary spell, etc. I shall transcribe, says Grose, a foreign piece of superstition, firmly believed in many parts of France, Germany, and Spain. The account of it, and the mode of preparation, appears to have been given by a judge: in the latter there is a striking resemblance to the charm in Macbeth: Of the Hand of Glory, which is made use of by house breakers, to enter into houses at night, without fear of opposition. I acknowledge that I never tried the secret of the Hand of Glory, but I have thrice assisted at the definitive judgment of certain criminals, who, under the torture, confessed having used it. Being asked what it was, how they procured it, and what were its uses and properties? they answered, first, that the use of the Hand of Glory was to stupify those to whom it was presented, and to render them motionless, insomuch that they could not stir, any more than if they were dead; secondly, that it was the hand of a hanged man; and, thirdly, that it must be prepared in the manner following: Take the hand, left or right, of a person hanged, and exposed on the highway; wrap it up in a piece of a shroud, or winding-sheet, in which let it be well squeezed, to get out any small quantity of blood that may have remained in it; then put it into an earthen vessel with Zimat, salpetre, salt, and long pepper, the whole well powdered; leave it fifteen days in that vessel; afterwards take it out, and expose it to the noontide sun in the dog-days, till it is thoroughly dry; and if the sun is not sufficient, put it into an oven heated with fern and vervain. Then compose a kind of candle with the fat of a hanged man, virgin wax, and sisame of Lapland. The Hand of Glory is used as a candlestick to hold this candle when lighted. Its properties are, that wheresoever any one goes with this dreadful instrument, the persons to whom it is presented will be deprived of all power of motion. On being asked if there was no remedy, or antidote, to counteract this charm, they said, the Hand of Glory would cease to take effect, and thieves could not make use of it, if the threshold of the door of the house, and other places by which they might enter, were anointed with an unguent composed of the gall of a black cat, the fat of a white hen, and the blood of a screech-owl; which mixture must necessarily be prepared during the dog-days. Grose. Provincial Glossary and Popular Superstitions. Something similar is recorded by Torquemade of the Mexican thieves. They carried with them the left hand and arm of a woman who had died in her first childbed; with this they twice struck the ground before the house which they designed to rob, and the door twice, and the threshold twice; and the inhabitants, if asleep, were hindered from waking by this charm; and, if awake, stupified and deprived of speech and motion while the fatal arm was in the house.-Lib. 14, c. 22. Note 20, page 113, col. 1. Some camel-kneed prayer-monger through the cave! I knew not, when I used this epithet in derision, that the likeness had been seriously applied to St James. His knees were, after the guise of a camel's knee, benumbed and bereft of the sense of feeling, by reason of his continual kneeling in supplication to God, and petition for the people.-Hegesippus, as quoted by Eusebius. Note 21, page 113, col. 1. up. By some Saint's grave beside the public way, etc. The habitations of the Saints are always beside the sanctuary, or tomb, of their ancestors, which they take care to adorn. Some of them possess, close to their houses, gardens, trees, or cultivated grounds, and particularly some spring or well of water. I was once travelling in the south in the beginning of October, when the season happened to be exceedingly hot, and the wells and rivulets of the country were all dried We had neither water for ourselves, nor for our horses; and after having taken much fruitless trouble to obtain some, we went and paid homage to a Saint, who at first pretended a variety of scruples before he would suffer infidels to approach; but, on promising to give him ten or twelve shillings, he became exceedingly humane, and supplied us with as much water as we wanted; still however vaunting highly of his charity, and particularly of his disinterestedness.—Chenier. Note 22, page 113, col. 1. Retail thy Koran scraps. No nation in the world is so much given to superstition as the Arabs, or even as the Mahometans in general. They hang about their children's necks the figure of an open hand, which the Turks and Moors paint upon their ships and houses, as an antidote and counter-charm to an evil eye; for five is with them an unlucky number; and five (fingers perhaps) in your eyes, is their proverb of cursing and defiance. Those who are grown up, carry always about with them some paragraph or other of their Koran, which, like as the Jews did their phylacteries, they place upon their breast, or sew under their caps, to prevent fascination and witchcraft, and to secure themselves from sickness and misfortunes. The virtue of these charms and scrolls is supposed likewise to be so far universal, that they suspend them upon the necks of their cattle, horses, and other beasts of burden. Shaw. The hand-spell is still common in Portugal; it is called the figa; and thus probably our vulgar phrase-« a fig for him,» is derived from a Moorish amulet. Note 23, page 113, col. 2. Their robe of glory, purified of stain, etc. In the Vision of Thurcillus, Adam is described as beholding the events of the world with mingled grief and joy; his original garment of glory gradually recovering its lustre, as the number of the elect increases, till it be fulfilled.-Matthew Paris. This is more beautifully conceived than what the Archbishop of Toledo describes in his account of Mahommed's journey to Heaven: «Also in the first heaven I found a venerable man sitting upon a seat, and to him were shewn the souls of the dead; and when he beheld souls that did not please him, he turned away his eyes, saying, O sinful soul, thou hast departed from an unhappy body; and when a soul appeared which pleased him, then he said with applause, O happy Spirit, thou art come from a good body. I asked the Angel concerning a man so excellent, and of such reverence, who he should be; and he said it was Adam, who rejoiced in the good of his generation, but turned away his face from the evil.»> Roder. Ximenes. BOOK VI. Note 1, page 114, col. 1. Of Solomon came down. THE Arabian horses are divided into two great branches; the Kadischi, whose descent is unknown, and the Kochlani, of whom a written genealogy has been kept for 2000 years. These last are reserved for riding solely; they are highly esteemed, and consequently very dear; they are said to derive their origin from King Solomon's studs; however this may be, they are fit to bear the greatest fatigues, and can pass whole days without food; they are also said to show uncommon courage against an enemy; it is even asserted, that when a horse of this race finds himself wounded, and unable to bear his rider much longer, he retires from the fray, and conveys him to a place of security. If the rider falls upon the ground, his horse remains beside him, and neighs till assistance is brought. The Kochlani are neither large nor handsome, but amazingly swift; the whole race is divided into several families, each of which has its proper name. Some of these have a higher reputation than others, on account of their more ancient and uncontaminated nobility. Niebuhr. Note 2, page 114, col. 2. And now, emerging, etc. of an For it was some In travelling by night through the valleys of Mount Ephraim, we were attended, for above the space hour, with an Ignis Fatuus, that displayed itself in a variety of extraordinary appearances. times globular, or like the flame of a candle; immediately after it would spread itself and involve our whole company in its pale inoffensive light; then at once contract itself and disappear. But, in less than a minute, it would again exert itself as at other times; or else, running along from one place to another with a swift progressive motion, would expand itself, at certain intervals, over more than two or three acres of the adjacent mountains. The atmosphere, from the beginning of the evening, had been remarkably thick and hazy, and the dew, as we felt it upon our bridles, was unusually clammy and unctuous. In the like disposition of the weather, I have observed those luminous bodies, which at sea skip about the mast and yards of ships, and are called Corpusanse by the mariners. Shaw. Note 3, page 114, col. 2. They in their endless flow, etc. The Hammam Meskouteen, the Silent or Inchanted Baths, are situated on a low ground, surrounded with mountains. There are several fountains that furnish the water, which is of an intense heat, and falls afterwards into the Zenati. At a small distance from these hot fountains, we have others, which, upon com A corruption of Cuerpo Santo, as this meteor is called by the Spaniards. parison, are of as intense a coldness; and a little below them, somewhat nearer the banks of the Zenati, there are the ruins of a few houses, built perhaps for the conveniency of such persons who came hither for the benefit of the waters. Besides the strong sulphureous steams of the Hammam Meskouteen, we are to observe farther of them, that their water is of so intense a heat, that the rocky ground it runs over, to the distance sometimes of a hundred feet, is dissolved, or rather calcined by it. When the substance of these rocks is soft and uniform, then the water, by making every way equal impressions, leaveth them in the shape of cones or hemispheres; which being six feet high, and a little more or less of the same diameter, the Arabs maintain to be so many tents of their predecessors turned into stone. But when these rocks, besides their usual soft chalky substance, contain likewise some layers of harder matter, not so easy to be dissolved; then, in proportion to the resistance the water is thereby to meet with, we are entertained with a confusion of traces and channels, distinguished by the Arabs into sheep, camels, horses, nay into men, women, and children, whom they suppose to have undergone the like fate with their habitations. I observed that the fountains which afforded this water, had been frequently stopped up; or rather ceasing to run at one place, broke out immediately in another; which circumstance seems not only to account for the number of cones, but for that variety likewise of traces, that are continued from one or other of these cones or fountains, quite down to the river Zenati. This place, in riding over it, giveth back such a hollow sound, that we were afraid every moment of sinking through it. It is probable, therefore, that the ground below us was hollow; and may not the air, then, which is pent up within these caverns, afford, as we may suppose, in escaping continually through these fountains, that mixture of shrill, murmuring, and deep sounds, which, according to the direction of the winds and the motion of the external air, issue out along with the water? The Arabs, to quote their strength of imagination once more, affirm these sounds to be the music of the Jenoune, Fairies, who are supposed, in a particular manner, to make their abodes at this place, and to be the grand agents in all these extraordinary appearances. There are other natural curiosities likewise at this place. For the chalky stone being dissolved into a fine impalpable powder, and carried down afterwards with the stream, lodgeth itself upon the sides of the channel, nay, sometimes upon the lips of the fountains themselves; or else, embracing twigs, straws, and other bodies in its way, immediately hardeneth, and shoots into a bright fibrous substance, like the Asbestos, forming itself at the same time into a variety of glittering figures, and beautiful crystallizations.—Shaw. Note 4, page 115, col. 1. By Oton-tala, like a sea of stars. In the place where the Whang-ho rises there are more than an hundred springs which sparkle like stars, whence it is called Hotun Nor, the Sea of Stars. These They call the Therma of this country Hammams, from whence our Hummums. sources form two great lakes called Hala Nor, the black sea or lake. Afterwards there appear three or four little rivers, which joined, form the Whang-ho, which has eight or nine branches. These sources of the river are called also Oton-tala. It is in Thibet.-Gaubil. | Astley's Collect. of Voy. and Travels. The Whang-ho, or, as the Portuguese call it, Hoamho, i. e. the Yellow-River, rises not far from the source of the Ganges, in the Tartarian mountains west of China, and having run through it with a course of more than six hundred leagues, discharges itself into the eastern sea. It hath its name from a yellow mud which always stains its water, and which, after rains, composes a third part of its quantity. The watermen clear it for use by throwing in alum. The Chinese say its waters cannot become clear in a thousand years; whence it is a common proverb among them for any thing which is never likely to happen, when the Yellow River shall run clear.-Note to the Chinese Tale Hou Kiou Choan. Note 5, page 115, col. 2. Beyond the same ascending straits, etc. Among the mountains of the Beni Abbess, four leagues to the S. E. of the Welled Mansoure, we pass through a narrow winding defile, which, for the space of near half a mile, lieth on each side under an exceeding high precipice. At every winding, the rock or stratum that originally went across it, and thereby separated one valley from another, is cut into the fashion of a door-case six or seven feet wide, giving thereby the Arabs an occasion to call them Beeban, the Gates; whilst the Turks, in consideration of their strength and ruggedness, know them by the additional appellation of Dammer Cappy, the Gates of Iron. Few persons pass them without horror, a handful of men being able to dispute the passage with a whole army. The rivulet of salt water which glides through this valley, might possibly first point out the way which art and necessity would afterwards improve.-Shaw. Note 6, page 115, col. 2. No rich pavilions, bright with woven gold. In 1568 the Persian Sultan gave the Grand Seigneur two most stately pavilions made of one piece, the curtains being interlaced with gold, and the supporters imbroidered with the same; also nine fair canopies to hang over the ports of their pavilions, things not used among the Christians.-Knolles. Note 7, page 116, col. 1. And broad-leaved plane-trees in long colonnades. The expences the Persians are at in their gardens is that wherein they make greatest ostentation of their wealth. Not that they much miud furnishing of them with delightful flowers, as we do in Europe; but these they slight as an excessive liberality of Nature, by whom their common fields are strewed with an infinite number of tulips and other flowers; but they are rather desirous to have their gardens full of all sorts of fruittrees, and especially to dispose them into pleasant walks of a kind of plane or poplar, a tree not known in Europe, which the Persians call Tzinnar. These trees grow up to the height of the Pine, and have very broad leaves, not much unlike those of the vine. Their fruit has some resemblance to the chesnut, while the outer coat is about it, but there is no kernel within it, so that it is not to be eaten. The wood thereof is very brown, and full of veins; and the Persians use it in doors and shutters for windows, which, being rubbed with oil, look incomparably better than any thing made of walnut tree, nay indeed than the root of it, which is now so very much esteemed.—Amb. Travels. Note 8, page 116, col. 1. With tulips, like the ruddy evening streak'd. Major Scott informs us, that scars and wounds, by Persian writers, are compared to the streaky tints of the tulip.

There, from time to time, their companions visited them with the most precious odours. These odours were the usual food of the Peris, and procured them also another advantage, for they prevented the Dives from approaching or molesting them. The Dives could not bear the perfumes, which rendered them gloomy and melancholy whenever they drew near the cage in which a Peri was suspended.—D'Herbelot. 11637. Note 13, page 116, col. 2.

Among the presents that were exchanged between the Persian and Ottoman sovereigns in 1568, were carpets of silk, of camel's hair, lesser ones of silk and gold, and some called Teftich; made of the finest lawn, and so large that seven men could scarcely carry one of them.-Knolles. In the beautiful story of Ali Beg, it is said Cha Sefi when he examined the house of his father's favourite, was much surprised at seeing it so badly furnished with plain skins and coarse carpets, whereas the other nobles in their houses trod only upon carpets of silk and gold.-Tavernier.

She commanded the first table to be set for her guest without the curtain, and two lighted tapers to be placed upon it. Afterwards she ordered a second table, but without any light, to be set for herself within the curtain, so that she could see every thing through it, unseen her self.

These cellars are square rooms, to which you descend by only two or three steps. In the middle is a small cistern of water, and a rich carpet covers the ground from the walls to the cistern. At the four corners of the cistern are four large glass bottles, each containing about twenty quarts of wine, one white, another red. From one to the other of these, smaller bottles are ranged of the same material and form, that is, round, with a long neck, holding about four or five quarts, white and red alternately. Round the cellar are several rows of niches in the wall, and in each niche is a bottle also of red and white alternately. Some niches are made to hold two. Some windows give light to the apartment, and all these bottles, so well ranged with their various colours, have a very fine effect to the eye. They are always kept full, the wine preserving better, and therefore are reple nished as fast as they are emptied.-Tavernier. Note 17, page 116, col. 2.
