DIR. Tomkins said that physicians have
wonderful opportunities that ministers

two evils.
He spoke Of James Moore Hickson, who
has recently been in Philadelphia treating
the sick BY means Of the laying on oi

REVIEWS OF NEW BOOKS

Early Persian Poetry" From the begin
nings down to the time OF firdausi
BY A. Y. Williams jackson, professor Of
Indo-Iranian Languages in Columbia
University. New York City The Mae
milan Co. Price. S225, net.
Persian poetry has ever had an at
traction for those who enjoy poetic inspl-
ration of high order of exalted sentiment.
and it has been said it Is the most diff
cult Of poetic productions in the various
languages to translate into the English
tongue with the full effect OF the native
utterances and meanings. Professor Jack
son. who has devoted years TO the study
Of Persia, its history, its languages and its
literature took up this work rs a labor OF
love, and by his enthusiasm, his sym
pathv and his deep interest produced re-
suits that placed the outpourlngs of the
spirit of ancient Persian poetry IN the
most noble and expressive words Of our
mother tongue.
The book, in the main, is a history of
Persian poetry from the very known be-
ginning, three thousand years ago, to the
time of Firdausi, set down in history rs
the greatest epic poet of Persia and one
Of the foremost in all literature, who lived
during the greater part OF the Tenth Cen
turv. and whose Shah-namah, or Book Of
Kings, is given high place in the history
of literature Professor jackson gives the
main outlines of the several early periods
he chose for presentation. together with
the characteristics of the various authors.
The periods he presents are: From GOO
b. c. to about $50 A. d.. from about 500
tn 600 \ D.; about 900-950 A. ID. middle
Of the Tenth Century; latter bali of the
Tenth Century; early in the Eleventh
Century, about 935-1025
Very interesting, especially to lovers Of
the ancient poets. is the concise history
presented in this work, embracing many
facts not generally known, the result Of
personal research By the author during his
travels in Persia. The selections made by
him are very appropriate and reveallngly
supplemental TO his presentation of fhe
gradual rise Of the productions Of Persian
poets 10 the crowning triumph Of per-
lection which they reached IN the genius
of FirdauSi. The entire account Is scholarly
and sympathetic, an introduction TO an
important literature too little known, and
also t. a great range Of human experiences
Of which the primitive love ard nature
songs are one boundary, and the other
epic Shah-namah, the great historical
Book Of Kings The Illustrations from
photographs taken by the author, are eN-
pressive and helpful
