A letter from a gentleman at Constantinople to his friend in
London, &c. Octavo, pp. 25. . .
"The priests traverse the city with these symbols, printed
on canvass, which they display to the people, repeating at
the same time the words of the prophecy, of which I here
send you as literal a translation from the Arabic as
possible.
THE PROPHECY OF ACHMET ALMAGI, OF CURDISTAN. Written

While I unseal the mystic leaves of fate;
Tremble! oh tremble! at the harsh decree,
Which dooms your greatness to obscurity.
