by the wise and virtuous Legislators of this happy country, be admitted iuto an equal enjoyment of every right and every privilege. The * See the Hedaya or Coaimeotary on the Mtusul- man Laws, 24 Priests of their religion are, as tbeir cha- racters are fully set forth io their Shaster, men who despise the adventitious advanta- ges of rank and fortune, who regard no di- stinctions in their flock but the distinctions arising from internal worth and intrinsick goodness ; not thirsting after worldl...y ho- nours; not given to luxury; strangers to avarice and pride. Having no bitterness against those who differ from them in opin- ion, animosity, strife, or wrath, is never heard of among these holy men, who, in the language of their Shaster, ' pass through things temporal, only mindful of those which are eternal.' Although my unwearied ap- plication to the study of the English lan- guage enables me to read a few passages in that tongue, it is to the Arabick copy of those books of the Shaster, called Gospels, to which I am indebted for tiie accuracy of my information.
