THE
ADVENTURES
OF
ANDOLOCIA.
AMPEDO and ANDOLOCIA were the two sons of the celebrated Fortunatus,
of Famagosta in the island of Cyprus, who, besides immense treasures,
left them at his death his purse and cap, both which, all who have read
his wonderful history and entertaining travels (published by TABART
and CO. at the Juvenile Library, New Bond-street,) must remember. This
purse, which was the source of his great riches, had been given him,
when a young man and pennyless, by Fortune; who, on presenting him
with it, told him that wherever he might be, when he wanted money, he
had only to put his hand into the purse as often as he pleased, and he
would be sure to find in it ten pieces of gold; that the purse should
never fail of producing the like sum, as long as it remained in the
possession of him and his children; but that, when he and they should
be dead, the purse should lose this extraordinary quality.
His cap he had got, when on his travels, from the Sultan at Alexandria;
and it had the wonderful property of instantly conveying any one who
put it on his head, to whatever part of the world he wished.
Fortunatus, on his death-bed, had told his sons the secret of his
purse and cap, commanding them on no account to disclose it to any
living creature, and at the same time advising them to live together in
harmony, and make use of the purse between them.
