HISTORY OF BEARDS.
Kingson assures us, that the ar.
ranjrement of the beard forms .an es
sential pari of the religion of the Tar
tan, He says farther, that these peo
ple branded the Persians with the
name -of infidelt, - and declared and
waited cruel war against them,
solely because they did not wear their
beards after the manner ot the Tar
tars, although, in other respects', their
faith was the same. .
Before Alexander's' time, the Greeks
wore their beards t but this prince
caused the Macedonians to be shaved,

them by the beard;-The-Romana
