Eig, 1. 



This figure, which boys draw on their slates at home under the 

 name of the Trojan walls or fair Rosamond's bower, is a potent 

 charm among the Telinghees, the sight of it being esteemed of much 

 efficacy in difficult or tedious labour. It is said that one of the kings 

 in the Mahabarat disposed of his troops after this fashion and set all 

 enemies at defiance when seated in the inmost recess. 



~Fm. 2 * 



This figure, which is engraved on lead, is shut up in a copper box 

 and worn on the arm as a preservative against the assaults of de- 

 mons, and evil spirits, and the attacks of robbers : but it must be en- 

 graved while the sun or moon is under eclipse, with benjamin burn- 

 ing, and mysterious muntrums uttered. 



Em. 3* 



If this figure be engraved on silver, and worn in the turband, the 

 wearer will be treated honestly by all mankind.
