Adapted from the Preface: All these Fables are what they profess to be, taken from the Persian; and, with the exeption of one, the Shoefinder, which is given on oral authority, may be recognised by those who are but beginners in that language. Great liberties, however, have been taken in the translation, by adopting the colloquies and incidents to our own notions and usages; the same liberty, in fact, which the Persian authors have made use of in embellishing the stories. deu 1.
