From the library of the botanist and Director of Kew Gardens W.B. Turrill with his faint signature on the upper cover. Polak studied Medicine in Prague and Vienna. He was one of the six Austrian teachers invited by Amir Kabir the Persian chief minister as the instructors of Dar ul-Fonun the first modern higher education institution in Iran. By his own account he entered Iran on 24 November 1851 before the inauguration of the Dar ul-Fonun. From 1851 to 1860 he taught medicine at Dar ul-Fonun. In the beginning he taught in French and used a translator. Soon the incompetence of the translators motivated him to learn Persian. He learned Persian in six months and then taught his course in Persian. In 1885 he funded Otto Stapf a Viennese botanist to undertake a botanical expedition to South- and Western Persia. This led to the discovery of numerous new species of plants. First Edition. Paperback. Fair. Karl Gerold's Sohn Paperback
