“The print is good, there is a profusion of good illustrations, and the volume may be thoroughly recommended as well supplying an acknowledged want of a selection of the most familiar of the stories from the ‘Arabian Nights,’ in a form fit for childish reading.”—_Guardian._ “A capital arrangement of some of the ‘Arabian Night’ Tales. Clear print, suggestive woodcuts and plenty of them, carefully edited versions—what more could be wanted?”—_Bedfordshire Mercury._ “A selection of the best stories in the ‘Arabian Nights’ Entertainments, illustrated with seventy-eight wood engravings. The compiler has executed his task with taste and skill, all objectionable passages having been removed without any loss of spirit.”—_Bristol Mercury._ “There is nothing in this selection from the far-famed tales which young people may not be permitted to read. We envy the child who reads this book. Who is there, indeed, that can forget the time when he first read the adventures of Sindbad the Sailor, and the story of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves? It is pleasant still to watch the dilating eyes of the youngsters as they pore over the old fictions, of which the volume before us contains a well-chosen selection.”—_Sheffield Independent._ “_The peculiarity of Mr. Hogg is that all his publications have a healthy, moral tone, whilst most of them are eminently calculated beneficially to impress the minds of both sexes. Commercially, the publisher attaches to them a very modest value; mentally and morally, the value cannot be estimated._”—LINCOLNSHIRE FREE PRESS. WITH TWENTY-EIGHT ILLUSTRATIONS.
