This Volume is one
of a Series
published by the Trustees of the
“E. F. W. GIBB MEMORIAL.”

The Funds of this Memorial are derived from the Interest accruing from a Sum of money given by the late MRS GIBB of Glasgow, to perpetuate the Memory of her beloved son

ELIAS FOHN WILKINSON GIBB,

and to promote those researches into the History, Literature, Philo- sophy and Religion of the Turks, Persians and Arabs, to which, from his Youth upwards, until his premature and deeply lamented Death in his forty-fifth year, on December 5, 1901, his life was devoted.

<Arabic>
“The worker pays his debt to Death;
His work lives on, nay, quickeneth.”

The following memorial verse is contributed by ‘Abdu’l-Ḥaqq Ḥámid Bey, formerly of the Imperial Ottoman Embassy in London, one of the Founders of the New School of Turkish Literature, and for many years an intimate friend of the deceased.
