Excerpt from Grammar of the Persian Language: To Which Is Added, a Selection of Easy Extracts for Reading; Together With a Vocabulary, and Translations

The Object of the following, Work is to facilitate the acqui sitiou of a language universally allowed to be the richest and most elegant of those spoken in Modern Asia. To the general scholar, the Persian recommends itself, from its vast stores of graceful and entertaining literature. To the traveller in the East, a knowledge of it is as essential as that Of the French used to be. In Europe. Lastly, to our British Youth, who annually resort to India, destined to become, in due time, the guardians Of our Eastern Empire, an acquaintance with Persian is of the utmost importance. In the first place, it is the Court language of the Musalman Princes, and that of the higher classes generally; and, in the second place, a knowledge of it is requisite for the proper attainment of the Hindustani, or popular language, which is spoken and understood, more or less, in every part of the country.
