... Within a comparatively few years, an ancient
manuscript in the Louvre at Paris has been found to remove from
Galland the long-standing reproach that he introduced into his
Arabian Nights stories which really did not belong to the
collection, but were taken from other Eastern sources.... It will
not be easy to change the form of the names which, through
Galland's agency, have become classic words.--_Introduction to
Stories from the Arabian Nights._
The text of the present selection from the Arabian Nights is that
of Galland, 1821, slightly abridged and edited. The edition is
designed virginibus puerisque.
E. DIXON.
Mr. Dixon presents these famous Oriental stories most acceptably, and
Mr. Batten's remarkable illustrations are all that can be desired. His
genii are genii indeed, and his fairy princesses creatures of grace
and beauty.

I have endeavored to give to the whole a genuine flavor of the
old plantation. Each legend has its variants, but in every
instance I have retained that particular version which seemed to
me to be the most characteristic, and have given it without
embellishment and without exaggeration.
