(Translations of the three Inscriptions

on the Cover.)

1. Arabic.

“These are our works which prove what we have done;

Look, therefore, at our works when we are gone.”

2. Turkish.

“His genius cast its shadow o’er the world,

And in brief time he much achieved and wrought:

The Age’s Sun was he, and aging suns

Cast lengthy shadows, though their time be short.”

(Kemál Páská-zádé.)

3. Persian

“When we are dead, seek for our resting-place

Not in the earth, but in the hearts of men.”

(Jalálu ’d-Dín Rúmí.)
