1825.—"The reign of Futeh Allee Shah has been far from remarkable for its military splendour. . . . He has rarely been exposed to danger in action, but, early in his reign . . . he appeared in the field, . . . till at last one or two shots from zumboorucks dropping among them, he fell from his horse in a swoon of terror. . . ."—*J. B. Fraser, Journey into Khorasán in 1821-22, pp. 197-8.*
