Solyman and Almena endure a tale of virtue and travel
A long historical tale follows Solyman the seeker as he travels from Irwan to Persia and Isfahan. He aids two lovers escaping oppression, discusses British commerce and literature with an English merchant, and ponders poetry. The piece blends moral reflection with a travel narrative and a hymn.
