" Professor Palmer's activity in advancing 

 Arabic scholarship has formerly shown itself 

 in the production of his excellent Arabic 

 Grammar, and his Descriptive Catalogue of 

 Arabic MSS. in the Library of Trinity Col- 

 lege, Cambridge. He has now produced an 

 admirable text, which illustrates in a remark- 

 able manner the flexibility and graces of the 

 language he loves so well, and of which he 

 seems to be perfect master.... The Syndicate 

 of Cambridge University must not pass with- 

 out the recognition of their liberality in 

 bringing out, in a worthy form, so important 

 an Arabic text. It is not the first time that 

 Oriental scholarship has thus been wisely 

 subsidised by Cambridge." Indian Mail. 



" It is impossible to quote this edition with- 

 out an expression of admiration for the per- 

 fection to which Arabic typography has been 

 brought in England in this magnificent Ori- 

 ental work, the production of which redounds 

 to the imperishable credit of the University 

 of Cambridge. It may be pronounced one of 

 the most beautiful Oriental books that have 

 ever been printed in Europe: and the learning 

 of the Editor worthily rivals the technical 

 get-up of the creations of the soul of one of 

 the most tasteful poets of Islam, the study 

 of which will contribute not a little to save 

 honour of the poetry of the Arabs."

 Trans!.), p. 194. 

 "For ease and facility, for variety of 



metre, for imitation, either designed or un- 

 conscious, of the style of several of our own 



poets, these versions deserve high praise 



We have no hesitation in saying that in both 

 Prof. Palmer has made an addition to Ori- 

 ental literature for which scholars should be 

 grateful ; and that, while his knowledge of 

 Arabic is a sufficient guarantee for his mas- 

 tery of the original, his English compositions 

 are distinguished by versatility, command of 

 language, rhythmical cadence, and, as we 

 have remarked, by not unskilful imitations of 

 the styles of several of our own favourite 

 poets, living and dead." Saturday Re-view. 

 " This sumptuous edition of the poems of 

 Beha-ed-dm Zoheir is a very welcome addi- 

 tion to the small series of Eastern poets 

 accessible to readers who are not Oriental- 

 ists. ... In all there is that exquisite finish of 

 which Arabic poetry is susceptible in so rare 

 a degree. The form is almost always beau- 

 tiful, be the thought what it may. But this, 

 of course, can only be fully appreciated by 

 Orientalists. And this brings us to the trans- 

 lation. It is excellently well done. Mr 

 Palmer has tried to imitate the fall of the 

 original in his selection of the English metre 

 for the various pieces, and thus contrives to 

 convey a faint idea of the graceful flow of 



the Arabic Altogether the inside of the 



book is worthy of the beautiful arabesque 

 binding that rejoices the eye of the lover of 

 Arab art." Academy.
