ABSTRACT
Salil-ibn-Razik, the author o f this booh, to the reader :— Although our main object is to set forth the biography of the illustrious Ahmed-bin-Sa’id and his descendants, never theless we have deemed it desirable to preface it with am, account of all the Imams of ’Oman, in order to a more com plete understanding o f the subject, and thcut those hitherto unacquainted with their history may learn to know that the el-Yemeny, the el-fOmdny Azdites are o f great renown.
