THE NINETEENTH AND THEIR TIMES


I ordained that the rights of the Warrior should not be infringed; that the soldier who had grown old in the service should not be deprived of his place or his pay; and that the deeds of the soldier should not be concealed. For men who exchange their comfort for perishable glory deserve to be compensated, and are worthy of reward and encouragement.

Institutes of Timour.
