Campbell in the field!... . Thus died the Moulvie Ahmad'allah {sic)
of Fyzabad. If a patriot is a man who plots and fights for
the independence, wrongfully destroyed, of his native country,
then most certainly the Moulvie was a true patriot. He had
not stained his sword by assassination; he had connived at no
murders; he had fought manfully, honourably, and stubbornly
in the field against the strangers who had seized his country;
and his memory is entitled to the respect of the brave and
the true-hearted of all nations." ^
