Note 013
Dow, Hist. of Hindostan, vol. i. p. 89, 95 - 98. I have copied this passage as a specimen of the Persian manner; but I suspect that, by some odd fatality, the style of Ferishta has been improved by that of Ossian.

Extra notes by the Rev. H. H. Milman 1782 (Written), 1845 (Revised):
Gibbon's conjecture was well founded. Compare the more sober and genuine version of Col. Briggs, vol. i. p. 110.
