First sentence: Verily the works and words of those gone before us have become instances and examples to men of our modern day, that folk may view what admonishing chances befel other folk and may therefrom take warning; and that they may peruse the annals of antique peoples and all that hath betided them, and be thereby ruled and restrained:-Praise, therefore, be to Him who hath made the histories of the Past an admonition unto the Present!
