But we shall have in the sequel, several occasions of speaking of him again; for Mr. Amiatt having been appointed chief of the factory at Azim-abad, continued to make use of Mirza-abdollah in almost all the transactions that fell within the verge of his influence; and as the latter was likewise a great friend of mine, he introduced me to the English rulers; and it is from that day I must date the friendship which that ruler conceived for me, and my subsequent connections with the English. After this digression, which shall be forgiven to friendship, we shall revert to the stream of our general history.
