42.25.4

This has been written by the weak and decayed hand of the poorest of those that beg at the gate of the All-bountiful God, that is, by Gholam-hussein, the Husseinian, son to Seyd Hedaiet-aaly-qhan, grandson to Seyd Aalim-ollah, great-grandson to Seyd Faiz-ollah, the Tebateba, (on whom all may grace and mercy rest for ever!) through the merits of the Prince of Prophets, and the intercession of the last of Messengers, Mohammed, the seal of envoys, as well as through those of his pure and innocent offspring (on whom all may grace and mercy rest for ever till the day of the last Judgment!). And the work has been finished the third day of the second week of that blessed month of Ramazan, which comes the seventh in order, in the series that compose the ninety-fifth year of the twelfth century that has elapsed since the auspicious and prophetic flight of that noble being, — on whom be grace and praise for ever! Copied by the Rebellious, the sinful, Mohammed-bass'don, the Hossenian. FINIS. Verum dicere Quid vetat. . . ? Horace. Calcutta, this 14th May, 1790. To WILLIAM ARMSTRONG, Esquire. Sir,—
