A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Searching one day in the story-book corner of our friend, Mr. Edward Hepry Whinfield slibrary for something written in colloquial Persian, we came upon the little manuscript which is translated into English in this volume. It bears the quaint title of the Key of the Hearts of Beginners ;though written in Persian it is not by a Persian born and therefore does not give the idiomatic wording we were seeking; but it is treasure-trove because it not only contains good stories but reveals in their compiler a charming personality. It was put together more than a hundred years ago by a Hindustani lady, a Musalmani, who was the wife of William Augustus Brooke, one of the several Brookes then in the East India Company sservice. Clearly its author was gently bred, of whatever unnamed family she came; and as a well-born Musalmani will have been accustomed to the presence in her home of the daily teacher (atun). That an Englishman should marry her agreed with the A nglo-I ndian habit of her day. Mr. W. A. Brooke went out in 1769 when about seventeen years old; he made his permanent home in India and died there, in Benares (in 1833) at the age of 81. His epitaph is preserved in the Bengal Obituary of 1848; its last words endorse his wifes account of his kindness; His amiable character endeared him alike to the Hindi, the Musalman and the Christian inhabitants of the city. (note). At the time of his death, he was Senior Judge of Appeal and Governor-G enerars A gent in Benares. The Bibi spreface records his service in Calcutta previous to 1781-82 (a.h. 1196) and after this date, in Patna.
