Mr. Trent's Account of the Sauds. 253 



The magistrate of Farrukhdbdd informed me, that he had found the 

 Sauds an orderly and well-conducted people ; they are chiefly engaged in 

 trade. 



Bhawani Das was anxious to become acquainted with the Christian reli- 

 gion, and I gave him some copies of the New Testament in Persian and 

 Hindustani, which he afterwards told me he had read, and shown to his 

 people, and much approved. 



I had no copy of the Old Testament in any language which he understood 

 well : but as he expressed a strong desire to know the account of the 

 creation as given in it, I explained it to him from an Arabic version, of 

 which language he knew a little. I promised to procure him a Persian 

 or Hindustani Old Testament, if possible.
