Excerpt from History of Ottoman Poetry, Vol. 3In offering to the public this third volume of the late Mr. E. J. W. Gibb's History of Ottoman Poetry, I desire to speak briefly in this Preface of three separate matters connected with my friend's work and memory, to wit, this book, the outcome of his patient and scholarly labours, and in particular the present instalment of it, and the part yet to follow, his collection of manuscripts, and the work taken in hand, and now in process of production, by the Trustees of the Gibb Fund, so generously founded by Mrs. Gibb of 13, Montgomerie Crescent, Kelvinside, Glasgow, to perpetuate the memory of her son, and to carry on researches in those studies to which his life was devoted. Of these three matters I will speak in the order in which they are here mentioned.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
