Laziness is a bad thing. 3. The Persian Participles. 421. Persian infinitives are not used in Turkish, but Persian present or active participles, and past or passive participles, frequently are, especially in the formation of compound words; and they are sometimes used as nouns. Example:--darendt, holding, who holds; a bearer, holder, possessor (of a letter, &c.) aytndc, coming, who comes, future revendt, going, who goe khancndc, singing, reading; a singer, reader khah, desiring, wishing khair-khah, a well-wisher Jj bed-khah, an evil-wisher. khande, called, invited j J didi, teen umour didf, who has seen business, experienced shiketftf, broken o /,/ thikfftU, heart-broken ti'jiima, showing rahnuma, showing the road, a guide gtiir, taking, holding, conquering jihan-ghir, world-conquering l'ii:, playing, risking janla;, who risks his life; an acrobat, a hone-breaker, horse-dealer. 422. The Persian active participles are either regular or irregular. The regular active participles are divided into two classes, those which end in j, and those which end with any other letter. 423. The passive of a regular active participle ending in J is formed by removing that letter, and putting ££ in its stead. Example, jf touz (burning), t- soukhtt (burnt). (This word is also used as a noun, meaning one whose heart is inflamed with the love of God or science. Hence it also signifies a student of law and divinity.) jL s&z (making, fabricating), &Li sakhtt (made, fabricated, spurious, forged). Hence the Turkish word j£te.-i sakhti-kiar (a forger). 424.

Not illustrated. 1891 Excerpt: ... It is related that in the time of His Holiness Jesus, there was a young man, a tailor; lie had a beloved wife and they loved one another extremely. One day they agreed to make a covenant that, if the wife died first the husband would not take another wife, but that he would embrace his (deceased) wife's tomb, and mourn (every day) till evening. If the young man died, the wife also would do thus. By the will of God, the wife died. The tailor, after lamentations, buried her, and, carrying out the covenant they had made, he embraced her tomb and wept, and always remained on her tomb. One day, while Jesus was passing through that place he saw a young man embracing a tomb and weeping. He approached him, and asked why he wept. The youth narrated all that had passed. Jesus at once put up a prayer, and the woman came to life; and she arose from the grave in her winding-sheet. Jesus went on his way again. The youth said: "It won't do for you to walk about thus in your winding-sheet. Stop a minute here, and I will go and bring some clothes from home. Put them on, and then we will go together." Whereupon, he went quickly to his home, and left the woman there. By chance the son of the king of that country happened to pass that way, and saw a lovely woman sitting with a winding-sheet wound round her. As soon as the prince saw her he fell madly in love with her, and exclaimed: "Who art thou?" The woman said: "I am a stranger; and a robber has stripped me." The prince immediately ordered his servants to take the woman and bring her to the palace, and put clean clothes on her. When the young tailor brought the clothes, he did not find the woman. He began to weep, and made enquiries of the passers by. There was no one who had seen her, and the...

(Excerpt from The Literature of the Turks: A Turkish Chres...)
Excerpt from The Literature of the Turks: A Turkish Chrestomathy With Translations in English, Biographical and Grammatical Notes, and Facsimiles of Ms. Letters and Documents Turkish dominions are about four times as large as France, and the Turkish language is spoken not only in them, but it is the Court language of Persia and Egypt, and is more or less used from the Danube to the Nile, and from Constantinople to the confines of China. It is the language of millions of Mussulmans who hold some of the most important strategic positions in the world, which, if occupied by a more aggressive power, might threaten the liberty of the world. Friendly intercourse between Turks and Englishmen, and a good understanding between their governments, which have many interests in common, would be greatly promoted by Englishmen being able to talk to Turks in their own language. The trade which England now carries on with Turkey might be immensely developed and extended, if English merchants in the Levant, or their employes, could speak and write the language of the country, which at present, with exceedingly rare exceptions, they cannot do. Our political and commercial interests in Turkey are, therefore, at the mercy of Levantine interpreters, who cannot be expected to have the good of Turkey or England very much at heart; as they are, properly speaking, neither Englishmen nor Turks, and they are most often men who possess only a colloquial and imperfect knowledge of Turkish. Their sympathies are generally not with the Turks, and the Turks would much prefer dealing directly with Englishmen, if Englishmen could understand them. Yet, until quite lately, the number of Englishmen who knew Turkish was exceedingly small, and even now there is a wide-spread belief in Europe that the Turkish language is scarcely worth learning, and that the Turks have no literature, or no literature worth perusing.
