Էջ 250 - SomeSometimes, indeed, there is a fort of whim or affectation of fingularity, in the manner of conferring her favours, that looks as if the defire of being fpoken of, fully as much as the defire of doing good, was the fountain from which they flow. For example — A young officer, who attended the court* fell in love, as was natural, with a young lady.
Էջ 416 - This instrument is called naffa; and with the chink turned toward them, they sit and beat strongly upon it with two cylindrical pieces of hard wood about a foot long, and as thick as the wrist ; by which means they produce a rude, though loud and powerful sound. They vary the strength and rate of their beating at different parts of the dance ; and also change the tones by beating in the middle, or near the end of their drum. The first dance...
