Dedicated to the Persian Eeader only) In the name of God, the Merciful, the Forgiving Praise be to God, the Maker of Land and Sea, the Lord of BE, and it shall be :W ho brought me forth from the place of my birth, obedient to His saying, Journey through the Earth :W ho guarded me from the dangers of the ivaij with the shield of No fear shall be upon them and no dismay ;W ho caused me to accomplish my quest and thereafter to return and rest, after I had beheld the wonders of the East and of the West! But A fterwards. Thus saith the humblest and umoorthiest of His servants, who least descrvcth His Bounty, and most necdeth His Clemency (may God forgive his failing and heal his ailing !): When from Kirmdn and the confines of Bam I had returned again to the city on the Gam, and ceased for a while to tvander, and began to muse and ponder on the lands where I had been and the marvels I had therein seen, and hovj in pursuit of knowledge I had foregone the calm seclusion of college, and through days vmrm and weary, and nights dark and dreary, now hungry and now athirst I had tasted, of the best and of the ivorst, experiencing hot and cold, and holding converse with young and old, and had climbed the mountain and crossed the waste now slowly and now with haste, until I had made an end of toil, and set my foot upon my native soil; then, ivishful to imimrt the gain which I had won with labour and harvested loith pain for Travel is trcovail sag the sages), I resolved to write these p)ages, and, taking ink and pen, to impart to my fcllo%v-men what I had witnessed and understood of things evil and, gnod. Now seeing that to fail and fall is the fate of all, and to claim exemption from the lot of humanity a proof of pride and vanity, and somewhat of mercy our common need; therefore let such as read, and errors detect, either ignore and neglect, or correct and conceal tlvem r (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

Not illustrated. 1902 Excerpt: ...by what now passes current as orthodoxy, to the great detriment of philosophical speculation; and for a time a violent anti-Shi'ite bias was displayed. This earlier period of the 'Abbasid Caliphate is therefore well defined, both in respect to racial dominance and religious tendencies, and reached its culminating point in the splendid reign of al-Ma'mun, whose mother r and wife 2 were both Persians, and whose ministers, favourites, and personal characteristics were, for the most part, Persian also. "We have seen," says Professor Palmer, "how the Arabs perforce left the actual administration of the conquered countries in the hands of native officials. The 'Abbasids owing their rise entirely to Persian influence, it was only natural that Persian counsels should prevail, and we accordingly find a minister of Persian extraction at the head of affairs, and the Caliphate carried on by almost precisely the same machinery as that by which the Empire of the Sasanians was governed." To this machinery belonged, amongst other things, the office of Waxlr (of which " Vizier " is the commoner, though less correct, form in English books), a word institutionofthe commonly derived from the Arabic root wizr " a omce of Wazir. J burden," because the Wazir bears the burden of administration, but probably identical in reality, as Darmesteter has shown,3 with the Pahlawi vi-chlr (from vl-chird, "to '"Much," says von Kremer (Cult. Streifziige, p. 41 ad calc), "is explained by the circumstance that Ma'mun's mother was a Persian, a statement which is found in an ancient and well-informed author (de Goeje, Fragm. Hist.

(Nearly a hundred years since its publication, E. G. Brown...)
Nearly a hundred years since its publication, E. G. Browne's A Literary History of Persia remains a classic work in English on the subject. Spanning four volumes, it took Browne over 25 years to write and whilst it concentrates on Persian literature, it surveys many aspects of Persian culture from pre-history to the twentieth century. Volume one covers the period from the earliest periods of Persian history until Firdawsi (AD 935-1020) a highly revered poet. Volume two looks at the early medieval period and in particular on the poet Saadi (1184-1283). Volume three focuses on the Tartar Dominion (1265-1502) and volume four 'Modern Times' covers from 1500 to 1924. A remarkable achievement upon first publication, Cambridge University Press is pleased to be able to bring its edition of this seminal work back into print.
