I was born a prince, and the son of a king and queen; my name is Camaralzaman ; my father is Schahzaman, who now reigns over the islands that are well known by the name of the Islands of the Children of Khaledan” He then told him his history. - When the prince had done speaking, the king said to him, “This history is so extraordinary that it deserves to be known to posterity : I will take care it shall be; and the original being deposited in my royal archives, I will spread copies of it abroad, that my own kingdoms and the kingdoms around me may know it’ The marriage was solemnized the same day, and the rejoicings for it were universal all over the empire of China. Nor was Marzavan forgotten: the king immediately gave him an honourable post in his court, and a promise of further advancement ; and held continual. feastings for several months, to show his joy.
