The Introduction proper to this work has been already published in pp. i-xlvii of the XXXIst vol. of the Sacred Books of the East. But, owing to the unusually extended range taken in by the present treatise, a preface of itself must take on some of the characteristics of an introduction ; that is to say, in explaining my procedure, and in extenuating my shortcomings, I am obliged to enter to some degree into discussion, and therefore into matters more fitting to an introduction than to a preface. If I attempt to make any distinction at all between a preface and an introduction, I shall have to do so on mechanical principles.
3and in extenuating my shortcomings, I am obliged to enter to some degree into discussion, and therefore into matters more fitting to an introduction than to a preface. If I attempt to make any distinction at all between a preface and an introduction, I shall have to do so on mechanical principles. That is, I shall simply take out from the bulk of my introductory preface some important particulars which might not receive their due share of notice if left there, and as to what these particulars should be no one will disagree with me. They are simply the expression of my great indebtedness to eminent scholars for providing me with the means of consulting very important MSS. and books, and to others for what was equally desirable, and that is, for assisting me to defray the expenses involved in the printing of my work by subscribing beforehand for a good number of copies of it. But, before I mention the kind co-operation of my friends, I had better explain how it was secured. It was caused by the examination of the first part of the book, pp. 1-393, which came to be distributed in the following manner, In 1882 a copy of the proof-sheets was urgently requested of me by an eminent German friend under circumstances which precluded a refusal. I had received unusual kindness from him, and mutual assistance had taken place between us throughout the working time of an entire year; and although I felt some apprehension in placing a book of uncorrected proof-sheets in the hands of so redoubted a critic, I thought it was little enough for me to do to express a gratitude which I hope I shall never cease to feel, and it was a matter of great gratification that this friend, in requesting me to send him the remaining portions of my book, wrote of it as sehr erwiinscht. Iv PREFACE. Having placed my unfinished book in the hands of this leading master, I decided to withhold it from nobody, and I accordingly sent it gratuitously to nearly all the leading specialists in Europe and America, refusing no application to allow it to be used, I should add that the first request had been followed by others quite as urgent and complimentary. . I do not regret that I acceded to these expressed wishes, for it placed my humble labours at the service of those who are helping on the development of Zoroastrian science, and I have not been without many further indications, both published and private, to the effect that my labours have not been in vain. It was entirely owing to the interest awakened by this gratuitous distribution that I have been enabled to secure the many important subscriptions to which I refer, and I have there- fore a double reason to be satisfied with the apparently large pecuniary sacrifice that I made. T may now state, as directly bearing upon what follows, the reasons why a year, or more, must yet elapse before I re-issue that first volume in its completed condition. The new MSS.
