For a dozen years I had usurped his time and his money, and now, after all his fatherly advice and guardianship, I had absolutely refused his first and only request. He had been a lenient guardian, giving freely of the small surplus that he could spare in an endeavor to give me the best possible education. I knew well that a physician's diploma would be an adequate means of progression, but medicine was not my calling. Why could I not prove to the old man that I was right? I stood humbly before him, just about to acknowledge my inferiority and ask his par don, - just about to renounce my determina tion to become an author, - when he said, Clarke, my boy, you shall become a writer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rose Garden of Persia To the Orientalist is known the extreme dith culty of conveying in any European tongue the exact meaning of the poet: the Germans have perhaps succeeded best in consequence of the con struction of their language; but mere words alone in Persian sometimes express so much that the translator finds all his efforts unavailing to render them of the same force. For instance, the Per sians have words and names which at one view exhibit many qualities without more explanation, and which throw a charm over their songs, impos sible to reach.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bakhtyār Nāma: A Persian Romance India Office Library, but also furnished me with much useful information on Eastern Fiction - a subject upon which he is one of the highest author ities in this country. Of the present collection of Tales it is remarked by a learned and acute writer that they are, for the most part, well wrought-out, probable, and without anything magical or supernatural. And those readers who do not delight in the extravagant creations of Oriental fancy - enchanted groves and fairy palaces beneath lakes, where carbuncles of immense size supply the place of the sun - will find little in this romance to shock their common sense. Nor are th ere - except one or two expressions in the opening passages - any of those hyperbolical descriptions of female beauty and the puissance of monarchs which are so characteristic of most of the fictions of the East. These Tales are, indeed, singularly free from such extravagancies, and may be considered as well adapted to check the often fatal impetuosity of Eastern monarchs, which was doubtless the purpose of the original author.
