Author Description

Excerpt from The History of Humāyūn (Humāyūn-Nāma) The printing of a book so full as is this one of unfamiliar names and of diacritically-marked letters entails a heavy tax upon proof-readers and compositors. I Wish to express my sense of this, and to thank Messrs. Billing, their proof readers and their compositors for what they have done to accomplish a difficult and tiresome task. My thanks are indeed due and are offered to Messrs. Drugelin for the patience and skill with which they have dealt with Persian copy from my untrained hand.
