FOOTNOTES:
[1] See Chapter XII. p. 220-3.
[2] The Editor is further responsible for the account of the pirates,
and of _Shapour_; and for the notes, except those within inverted
commas, which are taken from MSS. of Mr. MORIER.
[3] The _Cadjars_, according to OLIVIER, are a tribe of Turkish origin,
who took refuge in Persia under the reign of SHAH ABBAS I. and received
there the name of _Cadjars_ or fugitives. See FOSTER, ii. 198. The
historians of NADIR SHAH mention (as one of the chiefs of that tribe,
in the time of SHAH TAHMAS,) FUTTEH ALI KHAN. OLIVIER states that in
1723 he was nominated to the government of _Mazanderan_; and that, when
NADIR SHAH assumed the crown, he resisted his authority, was defeated
and killed. In JONES’S NADIR, lib. i. c. xi. there appears a FETHALI
KHAN, whose history accords better with the allusion in the text, p.
242. Compare the PHATALI KHAN of BELL, vol. i. and FRASER’S NADIR SHAH,
p. 89. His eldest son was MAHOMED HASSAN KHAN, whose pretensions and
rise and fall are stated fully by OLIVIER, vol. vi. 13-17-82, and whose
history, (under his various names of BABA KHAN, MUMTAZ KHAN, FULTRA
ALLA KHAN, &c.) is noticed in FRANKLIN, p. 299. IVES, p. 220. FOSTER,
vol. ii. 199. TOOKE’S CATHERINE, ii. 60, SCOTT WARING, &c. &c.
[4] ISMAEL was said by his first patron, ALI MERDAN KHAN BACKTYARI, to
be the son of SEYD MOUSTAPHA, by a daughter of SHAH HUSSEIN. OLIVIER,
vi. 21. He was the pageant recognised by three several competitors;
he was first proclaimed King by ALI MERDAN, again in 1756, by KERIM;
and a third time, in the same year, by MAHOMED HASSAN, who, like
his immediate rivals, and like NADIR, still in his first successes
professed himself to be the slave of the rightful monarch.
[5] “He made no scruple of avowing that in his youth he pursued the
occupation of a robber; and that his fore teeth had been demolished
by the kick of an ass which _he_ had stolen and was carrying off.”
FOSTER’S Travels, vol. ii. p. 241.
[6] The treaty forms the Appendix to General MALCOLM’S Political
History of India, p. 533-549.
[7] The _Malana_ of VINCENT’S NEARCHUS, p. 197. HORSEBURGH notices it
very slightly, “in coasting to the westward from _Hinglah_, another
point called _Muran_ is discerned.” p. 231. “Directions, &c.”
[8] The log of the Nereide, Sept. 26th, seems to refer to it, as “the
above island.”
[9] In 1581, the Portuguese (according to their historian FARIA y
SOUSA) after having surprised and burnt “the beautiful and rich city
_Pesani_,” destroyed “_Guadel_, not inferior.” _Asia Portuguesa_,
vol. ii. 373. They appear to have had afterwards a settlement there
themselves; vol. iii. p. 416; which before 1613 had probably been
resumed from its European possessors, for HERBERT in passing it,
observes, “beware by Sir ROBERT SHERLYE’S example of Cape _Guader_ ***
an infamous port and inhabited by a perfidious people. Under pretext
of amity they allured SHERLYE and his lady ashoare, A. 1613; where but
for a Hodgee that understood their drift and honestly revealed it, they
had been murdered with NEWPORT their captaine; and merely to play the
theeves with them.” Herbert’s Travels, p. 113. Ed. 1638.
[10] JACKSON mentions in 1797 one of his ships, which carried upwards
of a thousand men.--Journey, p. 8.
[11] Probably the ruins of Reshire.
