Excerpt from The Thousand and One Days: A Companion to the Arabian Nights
The present collection of Eastern Stories has been principally derived from the works of differ ent Oriental Scholars on the Continent, and little doubt can be entertained of the genuineness of their origin; while they have been carefully selected, and do honor to the good taste of their compiler. An acknowledgment is also due to him for 'his adherence to the good old orthography to which we have all been accustomed from our childhood, in the case of such titles as Caliph, Vizier, Houri, Genn, &c. As, however critically cor rect and learned the Spelling of Mr. Lane may be in his magnificent version of the Thousand and One Nights, and however appropriate to a work of so much research and value to Oriental students, it would have been alike fatiguing and out of char acter to have embarrassed a volume, simply in tended for the amusement of youthful readers, by a number of hard and unfamiliar words, difficult of pronunciation to all save the initiated; and for the pleasure of the young requiring translation fully as much as the narrative itself.
