FOREWORD.
Mr. Dinshah Jijibhoy Irani, Solicitor, Nishān-i Elmi, lived a comparatively short but undoubtedly a very useful and rich life crowded with many-sided activities.
During Mr. Dinshah Irani's lifetime, on the initiative of Prof. Pour-e-Davoud, a movement was started to publish a volume in appreciation of Mr. Irani's indefatigable and splendid services to the Iranians of Iran and the Parsis of India and some papers for the purpose were received from famous Iranian and European scholars, but owing to unforeseen circumstances, those papers remained unpublished at the time.
On his lamented death, which occurred on the 3rd November 1938, in Bombay, the Iranian Zoroastrian Anjuman and the Iran League, of which he was one of the founders, promoters and guides, decided to publish a Memorial Volume in his honour in appreciation of his great and valuable services in social, communal and literary spheres. A Committee of gentlemen whose names appear elsewhere was appointed, and it issued the following appeal to scholars interested in Iranian Studies:--
" We beg to inform you that it has been decided to Zoroastrian Anjuman and the Iran League, in honour of the late scholar and social worker, the late Mr. Dinshah J. Irani, Solicitor, Nishān-i Elmi. His great services both in the field of Iranian studies and the cause of social uplift are too well known to need any description.
" Essays have already been received from some of the well known orientalists - Prof. H.Lomel, Prof. A. B. Berriedale Keith, M. A. Bricteux, Mr. S. J. Bulsara, Dr. J. C. Tavadia and others.
" Dr. Rabindranath Tagore has associated himself with the work by writing a latter on Mr. Irani's character.
" Some of the Persian contributions are from the pens of M. A. Kazvini, Rashid-e-Yassemi, H. K. Iranshahr, Said-e-Nafisy and others, all first rate authors and men of letters.
" May we request you on behalf of the Committee to contribute an article on Iranian or Zoroastrian subject, not exceeding ten typed sheets of foolscap paper? "
The Memorial Volume Committee notes with satisfaction that in response to its appeal many learned papers, both in English and Persian, have been received for the Volume and these added to the papers formerly collected at the initiative of Prof. Pour-e-Davoud make up a fairly large number of valuable contributions.
The Committee tenders its sincere thanks to the accomplished scholars and savants who have responded to its appeal as well as to the request of Aga Pour-e-Davoud and sent their valuable contributions to this Memorial Volume.
The Committee cannot close this Foreword without mentioning how deeply it feels indebted to Lady Navajbai Ratan Tata and her Co-Trustees of the Sir Ratan Tata Charities, as well as to Mrs. Dossibai Pestonji Patel for their munificent donations towards the expenses of publishing this Volume, as a tribute to the priceless gem of a man whose loss will not cease to be deplored by a very large number of men and women in Iran and India, and whose memory will be the cherished possession of his community.

LOSS SUSTAINED BY THE EDITORIAL
BOARD
The surviving members of the Editorial Board of Dinshah Irani Memorial Volume regret to have to take note of the passing away of two esteemed colleagues before the publication of this Volume. Mr. Faredun Kersasp Dadachanji, Solicitor, passed away on February 24, 1942 and Jehangirshah Cooverji Coyaji, Kt., Bar.-at-Law, on July 14, 1943. The main work of the Volume had already been done before the passing away of Mr. Dadachanji. Both these members, therefore, had given their full share in the work of the committee. Sir Jahangirshah had also helped the Committee by preparing a short biography of Mr. Dinshah Irani. Notwith-standing their other multifarious engagement both these gentlemen had worked zealously for the compilation of the Volume and for rendering it a worthy memorial of the deceased. Their colleagues feel their loss at this moment when the Volume is completed.
