- The Author painstakingly prepared this dictionary which is chiefly intended for the use of travellers and others in Persia, and will be found to contain all the words is use in colloquial Persian. With a view to making it available for beginners in the language, and especially for candidates for the Indian Civil Service, all the words in the Gulistan and most of those occurring in other prescribed text-books have also been included. For example, the vowels are to be pronounced as in Italian, except a, which is sounded broad as in the word awe. The consonants except s are pronounced as in English. The book is the product of extensive study of this language. The subject of the book is good and very useful for learners of the Persian language. Though the book is a rare one, it may be recognized even by those who dissent from the author’s point of view.
