Oxford University, England, Prof. A. H. Sayce, the eminent philologist, says:

The Standard Dictionary is truly magnificent, and worthy of the great continent which has produced it. It is more than complete. . . It is certain to supersede all other dictionaries of the English language."

Yale University, Prof. E. J. Phelps, Ex-minister to Great Britain, says:

"The work is extremely well done throughout. For general and practical purposes it is the best American dictionary now available."

Cambridge University, England, Prof. J. E. Sandys, says:

"It is an admirable work, and deserves to become famous on both sides of the Atlantic."

Harvard University, the late Prof. A. Preston Peabody, said:

"Will prove invaluable, and will last while the English language remains essentially unchanged."

The New York Herald says:

"The Standard Dictionary is a triumph in the art of publication. It is admirable from every point of view. It is the most satisfactory and most complete dictionary yet printed."

The Saturday Review, London, Eng., says:

In substantial merit we think the Standard Dictionary decidedly preferable to the much-advertised Century."

The Daily Post, Liverpool, Eng., says:

"It is a monument to American industry no less than the Great White City by Lake Michigan."

The Journal of Education, Boston, says:

"In thoroughness, completeness, accuracy, typography, style, and illustration, it challenges criticism and commands admiration. It will make the world its debtor, and all who write must praise it evermore.

The Christian Commonwealth, London, Eng., says:

"This Dictionary is perfection itself in all that can make a work of the kind available for practical use.. The people of this country ought to be thankful to the enterprising American firm which has produced the Standard Dictionary."

The New York Observer says:

"The knowledge and experience of the most able minds of the age in all the departments of art and science, of literature and learning, have practically been focused, and the result is a dictionary so thorough in details, so comprehensive in its reach, so accessible and intelligible to the student of even average attainments, and yet so satisfactory to the profoundest scholar, that it must be conceded a place before undreamed of and till now unfilled."

In the present volume an attempt has been made to make a genuine variorum edition. In immediate juxtaposition are placed for convenient reference first the two Fitzgerald's versions, in regular sequence. These are followed by the literal prose translations of J. B. Nicholas (in French), 1967. and of the honorable Justin Huntly McCarthy, M.P. (1899) by the occasional attempts of M. K. to render the quatrams into metres corresponding with those of the original Persian, by E. H. Whinfield's conscientious metrical version (1885), by the only American version by John Leslie Garner, and ally by German versions, either by the late Friedrich Bodenstedt (1881), or by the learned Graf von Schack (1878). A selection of the quatrains not translated by Fitzgerald, but remarkable for their thought, is added.
