19. A NEW SERIES of ARABIAN NIGHTS’ ENTERTAINMENTS, selected from the original Oriental MS., and now first translated into English by the Rev. GEORGE LAMB. 3 vols. small 8vo. 18s. “The Arabian Tales possess other charms to recommend them, besides the abundance of the marvellous and supernatural which they contain, namely, the vivid picture they present of the customs, manners, prejudices, and every thing in the slightest degree referring to the nations among whom the wondrous incidents they relate are supposed to have occurred. Will it not, then, be a sufficient recommendation of these volumes to state that they fall by no means short of their greatly admired predecessors in this respect? Indeed, several of these Tales are more than either works of fiction, or pictures of the customs, manners, &c. of the nations of which they treat. Some of them will be found to contain much excellent moral instruction and philosophical reflection. The imaginative and descriptive parts will be found equally interesting and beautiful.” End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Blue-Stocking Hall, (Vol. 3 of 3), by William Pitt Scargill
