These domestic revolutions are related in a
clear and natural style, in the second volume of Ockley's
History of the Saracens, p. 253 - 370. Besides our printed
authors, he draws his materials from the Arabic Mss. of
Oxford, which he would have more deeply searched had he been
confined to the Bodleian library instead of the city jail a
fate how unworthy of the man and of his country!]
