APRES cette victoire, Thogrul-begh reprit* le chemin de Bagdad. Il s'enbarqua sur le Tigre, et se rendit par eau à la porte de Racca, où il monta à cheval, et fit son entrée dans Bagdad. Lorsqu'il fut parvenu au palais du Khalif, il descendit de cheval et marcha à pied, accompagné des Emirs, qui le précédoient sans armes. Le Khalif e'toit assie derriere son voile noir, ayant sur ses épaules l'habit noir nommé Bourda, et dans sa main le batton du Prophête. En s'approchant du thrône, Thogrul-begh baise la terre et se tint debout pendant quelque tems, apres quoi il monta vers le thrône, suivi du premier Ministre du Khalif et d'un Interprête. Il s'assit sur, autre thróne, et on lût en sa presence lacte par lequel le Khalif le reconnoissoit maitre de tous les Etats le Dieu Tres-Haut lui avoit confiés, et governeur que de tous les Musulmans. On le revetit de sept robes d'honneur, qu'on lui mit l'une sur l'autre ; on lui donna des esclaves des sept contrées differentes qui formoient l'Empire des Khalifs; on lui couvrit la tête d'un voile d'etoffe d'or tout rempli de muse; ensuite on lui mit deux couronnes, l'une pour l'Arabie, et l'autre pour la Perse. Le Khalif lui donna une épée toute garnie d'or. Apres cette cérémonie Thogrul-begh retourna à sa place, et voulut baiser la terre, mais on l'empêcha, et il baisa deux fois la main du Khalif. Caim-b'amr-illah lui fit present d'une seconde épée, et ils les mit toutes les deux Etats, on le proclama ensuite Roi de l'Orient et de l'Occident.

*Samedi 25 de Dzoulcaada l'an. 448.

C'est ainsi que le Khalif se donnoit un maitre. Depuis que l'on avoit établi anciennement un Emir-el-omara, ou Lieutenant-General de l'Empire, les Khalifs etoient accoutumés à se depouiller eaux-memes de toute leur autorité en faveur de cette officier, et reduits en quelque sorte à une pension, ils se contentoient des respects que le peuple leur rendoit comme au Souvrain Pontife de la Religion Mussulmanne. Thogrul-begh succedoit dans cette charge aux Bouides qui'l venoit de detruire.-Histoire General des Huns, des Turcs, des Moguls, &c. Par M.

PRAYERS FOR THE USE OF FAMILIES, in Six Series, with Sacramental and Occasional Prayers. By the Rev. C. WATSON, Minister of Burntisland. 3d edition 12mo. price 5s. 6d.

"The volume now before us is, in its strain, decidedly, and throughout, evangelical. In its diction, we have the elegance of the man of literature, united with the plainness and simplicity of the Bible Christian. We recommend the volume most earnestly to all who stand in need of such auxiliaries, as possessing superior value."-Edinburgh Christian Instructor.

"The afflictive dispensation which suspended the personal efforts of the pious author, has been the means of furnishing to the public what we consider one of the best aids to family devotion which has lately appeared. We heartily recommend the volume to public favour, and trust that its circulation may be commensurate with its worth."-Edin. Literary Journal.

"We take leave of the volume, assuring those who find it absolutely necessary to use a form, that the prayers which it contains are truly excellent, and recommending its perusal, and the study of it, to others, who, though they may be in the habit of employing no form, have not yet acquired that command of thought, and facility of expression, which are so desirable, and which, we doubt not, if they persevere in the good course they have entered upon, they will soon attain."-Presbyterian Review, No. III.

In 18mo. neatly printed, price 2s. PRAYERS FOR YOUNG PERSONS, consisting of Two Series, and Occasional Prayers; also PRAYERS for Children from eight to ten years of age, and THANKSGIVINGS before and after meat. By the Rev. C. WATSON, Minister of Burntisland.

"We conceive that parents cannot easily put any thing more valuable into the hands of their children; and that children cannot easily find a book, the diligent study of which will so powerfully tend to awaken and strengthen in their souls those feelings and principles which it is most important, both to their temporal and eternal welfare, that they should possess."—Christian Instructor, Jan. 1832.

The CABINET for YOUTH. By the Authors of the "Odd
Volume." Containing Narratives, Sketches, &c. &c., for the
Instruction and Amusement of the Young.

displayed in the Miller of Calder, and several other graphic Tales, an originality of genius and a conception of character which the English Ladies have never exhibited. . . The book is a good one, and will be a popular one, or we err greatly in our estimate of what young folks like to read, and what their guardians think it advisable to purchase for them."-Edinburgh Observer.

"This is a very cheap and handsomely got up volume, . which, combining instruction with amusement, is fitted to keep up an intense interest in the reader, while at the same time it imparts the most wholesome alimentary food. It is just such a book as will create in youth a taste for reading, and we, therefore, recommend it to those who are desirous of benefiting their young friends, as one of the most valuable presents they can make them."-New North Briton.

"This is a very instructive little book, and a very proper little book for the shelves of the juvenile library. Young readers will find in it descriptions of animate and inanimate nature, calculated to awaken a love for their several beauties.

The Cabinet for Youth' is a good wholesome moral and intellectual meal, which no parents need fear to dish up to their children."-Edin. Lit. Journal.

"The JUVENILE MANUAL of INTERESTING, INSTRUCTIVE, and SERIOUS READING"-Extracted and Original.

"This handsome volume, so full of interesting narrative and instruction, as well as entertaining information, has invariably a serious moral, and must be relished by the young, whose best interests it seeks affectionately to promote."

"This is an admirable selection, fitted to interest the young mind, and in doing so, to communicate knowledge of the safest and most profitable nature. The Juvenile Manual will amply reward perusal."-Scottish Missionary Register, August 1832.

"We feel much confidence in recommending the Juvenile Manual to the attention of such of our readers as are interested in the moral training of the Young. Its title will shew that it is intended chiefly for them; every separate extract is so excellent in itself, and of such a decidedly religious tendency, that no one can fail to see, that the object of the editor is to imbue the minds of his youthful readers, both with a relish for what is entertaining and elegant in literature, as well as with a love for what is sound and beautiful in piety. We have only to conclude our notice of the Work, by recommending it to that class of persons whom we have already mentioned."-Presbyterian Review, No. 5.
