Note 81 — Chapter XIII
Reading edition
Mr. Randall, who is here alluded to, was a very ingenious carpenter, who had been in an English man-of-war employed in discoveries. He had been in the habit of mixing with the natives of the places he visited and was on this occasion of great use; for the Persian artizans, employed under his directions, worked with more zeal and readiness from his dressing like them and living amongst them.
