Book excerpt: Excerpt from Long-Lost Chronicles of Solomon: And Poems He saw jewels of great value, but only brought away a wonderful penholder, of gold, a foot long, with the twelve tribes of Israel elaborately chased and elevated on it; in the top was a sapphire, and inside, when the head was screwed off, were various pens from the quills of a goose. He, with great care, rolled up the papyrus in his handkerchief, and the pen in a piece of linen which he found on a stool near the tomb, and making a rope of the remainder by twisting, he closed the doors after him, and making the linen rope fast to the outside projection, let himself down to the bank of the Nile. Then, tying his knife on a thick stick, he cut the rope a few feet above his head. The door, when liberated from his weight, had sprung back to its place. Reaching the camp, he sought out Bartholomew, a Jew, a fine Hebrew scholar. Binding him to secrecy, and promising him a good reward, after several evenings he elucidated the title page: "Chronicles of the Times of Solomon, the Wise King of Israel, written by myself, Eleazer, son of Samuel." After the Jew found a good key to the very ancient Hebrew, he translated it as follows, (part of which is completed; and as they have returned to England, the remainder will be transmitted to the writer, who is on terms of great intimacy and friendship with the son of the Marquis of L.): The First Chronicle of Solomon. King Solomon, who was a man of wonderful energy and industry, sallied out of his palace with poor vestments on and common sandals, his hair uncombed and disheveled. It was late at night, for in the day time it was very warm in summer, and dusty in Jerusalem; and especially dusty at that time on account of the immense quantity of material being hauled for the temple he was building. Having gone a quarter of a mile on the street leading to the Mesopotamia gate, Solomon saw a sandal-maker hard at work, singing even at that late hour.
