SUPPLEMENTAL NIGHTS To The Book Of The Thousand And One Nights With Notes Anthropological And Explanatory

To William H. Chandler, Esq,. Pembroke College, Oxford.

My Dear Mr. Chandler,

As without your friendly and generous aid this volume could never have seen the light, I cannot resist the temptation of inscribing it to you-?and without permission, for your modesty would have refused any such acknowledgment.

I am, ever, Yours sincerely, Richard F. Burton.

Trieste, March 10th, 1888.

Contents of the Fourteenth Volume.

The Translator's Foreword.

As my first and second volumes were composed of translated extracts from the Breslau Edition of The Nights, so this tome and its successor comprise my version from the Wortley Montague Codex immured in the old Bodleian Library, Oxford.

Absence from England prevents for the present my offering a satisfactory description of this widely known manuscript; but I may safely promise that the hiatus shall be filled up in vol. v., which is now ready for the press.
