Eemarks by the Tabulator. It is not stated in this story that the King of Persia is represented by the pot of marjoram, that his being is bound up in that of the plant; his injuries, therefore, consequent on the throwing out of the pot by the sisters. But a reference to other stories embodying a like incident leaves no doubt of it. Vide two following, Nos. 8 and 9, of same collection, " The Pot of Rue " and " King Otho."
