Note 024
All that can be known of the Assassins of
Persia and Syria is poured from the copious, and even
profuse, erudition of M. Falconet, in two Memoires read
before the Academy of Inscriptions, (tom. xvii. p. 127 - 170.)
Extra note by the Rev. H. H. Milman 1782 (Written), 1845 (Revised):
Von Hammer's History of the Assassins has now
thrown Falconet's Dissertation into the shade.
The History Of The Decline And
Fall Of The Roman Empire
—Fall In The East
—Chapter 64
