The famous British orientalist E. G. Browne, a physician by training, was interested in Turkish language and literataure long before he became Professor of Arabic at Cambridge. It was at Cambridge that he wrote most of the works in the field of Persian studies, which were to bring him recognition as an outstanding Iranologist. But Browne's sense of affinity with the Turks endured from the time of the Russian-Turkish war of 1877-78, when he was only 16, until the end of his life in 1926. In 1914 he wrote in his introduction toThe press and poetry of modern Persia: 'Curiously enough it was the Ottoman Turks, a people far less original and talented than either the Persians or the Arabs, who so far as the Near East is concerned, introduced the hitherto unknown ideas of 'the Fatherland' (watan), 'the nation' or 'people' (millat) and 'liberty' (hurriyyat) and who succeeded in giving to these old words this new and potent significance
