Of Ferdoosee. 63 
Such is the sketch which the Author of 
this paper proposed to give of the life and 
genius of Ferdoosee. He has ventured upon 
a subject, of no general importance, but he 
hopes, not totally unprofitable or uninterest- 
ing. Should it have been otherwise, he has 
only to beg the indulgence of the Society for 
occupying their valuable time, and supposing 
that these trifles, the amusement of some 
leisure moments, might not be incapable of 
yielding them an hour’s entertainment.
