59, from Mirkhond's History of the Assassins. This Nizam ul Mulk, in his Wasiyat-or Testament-which he wrote and left as a Memorial for future Statesmen-relates the following, as quoted in the Calcutta Review, No. This was Nizam ul Mulk, Vizier to Alp Arslan the Son, and Malik Shah the Grandson, of Toghrul Beg the Tartar, who had wrested Persia from the feeble Successor of Mahmud the Great, and founded that Seljukian Dynasty which finally roused Europe into the Crusades. The Slender Story of his Life is curiously twined about that of two other very considerable Figures in their Time and Country: one of whom tells the Story of all Three.
