devastation, and bloodshed are evidently practised by them, in the recital of both authors. The Memoir of the learned Leyden abounds with curious and important information respecting the Afghan tribes, to which the present events in Western India can but lend a higher interest. Some reputed followers of Bayazid are still to be found both in Paishavir and Kabul, most numerous among the wild tribes of the _Yusefzei_. CHAPTER X.

D. 1543), the lord _Jelal eddin Akbar_, the august son of _Hamáyún Pádshah_ and of the praise-worthy _Bánú Bêgam_ was born.” The writer of this work heard also in the year of the Hejira 1053 (A. D. 1643-4), in Lahore, from _Mirzá Sháh Muhammed_, surnamed _Khaznín Khán_, the son of shah _Baigh Khán_, with the surname of _Khán Douran_, a native of Arghún, who is said to have asked from the Naváb _Azíz Kóka_, surnamed _Khán Aâzem_, what observation he had to make upon the rumor current relative to the Lord, the inhabitant of the ninth heaven, as to his being like the Messiah? He answered: “What the mother said, is the truth.”[35] [35] The author does not mention any particular miracle, which we had reason to expect from the preceding title of this section. SECTION II.――ON THE DISPUTE OF THE PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT RELIGIONS.
