ABSTRACT
We find a man, whose birth and beginning were so obscure as with difficulty to be traced out; conducting to an issue, with resolution and steadiness, opportunities he had worked out for himself; planning with deliberation and foresight, the fabrick of his future fortune; and carrying his designs into execution, with an unwearied application, till, like other mighty conquerors before him, he became terrible to Asia and the undoubted arbiter of the East.—Hanway on Nadir Shah.
