Kãm Raj, ' 'Ibratnãmah ' (India Office Library, MS. No. 1,534, Ethé, ' Catalogue,' p. 146), fol. 57b; Kãmwar Khãn, ' Tazkirat-us-salãtín-i-Chaghatãe,' my copy; ' Ma,ãsir-ul-Umarã,' i. 124, ii. 63-65; H. G. Raverty, 'Notes on Afghanistan,' 1883 ; ' Madras Manual of Administration,' 1885, ii. 86, 87; Mark Wilks ' Historical Sketches of the South of India,' 1810, i. 225, note. As I know the court well, I venture to say that the above-mentioned ambassadors from Pegu \[ante, fols. 177-180\] will be received by the Mogul king as if they were apes or monkeys ; it will be the same with the courtiers, and, generally speaking, with the whole population. There will not fail to be plays produced about them, as I have seen in similar cases; pictures of them will also be made and hawked in the streets, as something most marvellous and extraordinary \[see forward, fol. 195\]. \[186\] I have already spoken of the Persian physicians, and of their inability to believe or admit that European doctors are acquainted with medicine ; but I will insert, nevertheless, an instance that occurred in 1679. While I was at the court of Shãh 'Alam in Aurangãbãd, there arrived a Venetian physician named Angelo Legrenzi. He came from Aleppo, having quitted the service of the Most Serene Republic, and at the age of thirty-five had set out in search of fresh fortunes. He had thought out various ideas, and collected in his head many thoughts.
