<BLOCKQUOTE>
<TITLE>Persian Historians</TITLE>
<ATTRIBUTION>George Sale, 1744</ATTRIBUTION>
<para>It is far from being our
opinion, that every thing recorded by the Perfian writers is ftrictly
fact ; that would be to place them not on a level with the beft
hiftorians of other nations, but in a clafs high above them : for what 
people, what kingdom, what republic, can boaft of fuch a faultlefs 
feries of hiftory ? or why fhould we expect a greater degree of
clearnefs in the hiftory of Perfia, as written by Oriental authors, 
than we find in the hiftory of Greece, though written by Greeks, who
were fo proud of their own abilities, that they ftiled all the reft of
the world barbarians ?
