Excerpt from Sadi's Moral Book: Being Persian Text and English Translation of Shaikh Sadi's Pand-Namah I should here add that in the Introduction I have frequently derived my information from Maulana H ali's in valuable work on Sadi. I can hardly expect that a work such as it is should have been altogether free from all shortcomings, but; I hope this might serve to awaken consideration in the study of a great man whose inspiration has been felt in distant age and clime, and who reigns in the world of Persian literature as supreme as Shakespeare wherever English is spoken and written.
