Excerpt from Gulistan, or Flower-Garden: Translated, With an Essay by James RossThirty years ago, when I first devoted myself to the study of the Oriental languages, it was my custom to translate into English any classic which my Munshi had recommended for my perusal and, among other Persian books, I had in this way made translations of the Gulistan and Bustan of Sadi: and now, with much diffidence, publish that of the Gulistan, with an abridgment of a larger work, being an Essay on the Life and Genius of the Author, intcnding to follow this up next year with my translation of the Bustan, with a prefatory critique on Sadi's works, and making a volume equal in size to this but each will otherwise be a distinct work.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
