The priceless gem of Logi cal Thought had never a more appro priate setting, and Human Reason and Human Kindness had never, since the beginning of the recorded centuries, a sweeter Interpreter than He, who, amid these turbulent surroundings, thus sounded a note for Humanity - this Omar Khayyam of Naishipur.
