[Footnote 86: The third grand vizier of the name of
Kiuperli, who was slain at the battle of Salankanen in 1691,
(Cantemir, p. 382,) presumed to say that all the successors
of Soliman had been fools or tyrants, and that it was time
to abolish the race, (Marsigli Stato Militaire, &c., p. 28.)
This political heretic was a good Whig, and justified
against the French ambassador the revolution of England,
(Mignot, Hist. des Ottomans, tom. iii. p. 434.) His
presumption condemns the singular exception of continuing
offices in the same family.]
