First sentence: ARABIAN and Persian literature have for a considerable period received the attention of Western scholars, and translations and editions of several of the most esteemed works in these two languages have from time to time appeared in Europe; but the literature, and especially the poetical literature, of the Ottoman Turks, the most illustrious family of the third great race of Islam, has been, with a few exceptions, notably that of Von Hammer, almost entirely neglected by European Orientalists.
