Note 1 — Chapter XIX · LONG LIVE THE CONSTITUTION!
Margaret Payson Waterman translation

The people were shouting, singing and weeping for joy; Mullahs1 and Gregorian priests were embracing one another. The most ferocious of the Mussulmans had forgotten their old hatred of Christian infidels: to-day all were brothers.
