Excerpt from The Epic of Kings: Stories Retold From Firdusi In conclusion, I have many debts of gratitude to acknowledge. First and foremost my warmest thanks are due to Mr. Alma Tadema, r.a., for the value he has imparted to my book by his etchings, and for the kind encouragement and sympathy he has given to me from the first planning of the work. For encouragement and sympathy I have also to thank my kind friend Mr. Robert Browning. I am further deeply indebted to Mr. E. W. Gosse for his prefatory poem as well as for his kindness in reading the proofs. I am also grateful to Miss Mary A. M. Robinson for assistance in revision and for the metrical versions interspersed. Last, but not least, I desire to express my obligations to Mr. Richard Garnett of the British Museum, to whom I owe my first introduction to the beauties of F irdusi.
