26 W. Irvine —Nadir Shah and 'Muhammad Shah , a Hindi poem. [No. I T 
Jonas Hanway’s judicious remarks (“ Revolutions of Persia,” 3rd edi¬ 
tion, 1762, II, 352) convey the wisest and safest opinion on this very 
disputable point. “ It seems to me highly probable that Nadir did not 
“ stand in need of such instruments for the execution of his ambitious 
“ designs.’’ In short, Nadir Shah could not look on himself as the 
world-conqueror that he wished to be, a veritable equal of Changez and 
Taimur, without an invasion of Hindustan, and, as I hold, such an inva¬ 
sion was inevitable, invitation or no invitation.
