[Transcriber's Notes
This text is based on what is called the Grub Street edition of the
One Thousand and One Nights, that first appeared in London in 1706.
It was translated indirectly by anonymous translator(s) from the
French translation of Antoine Galland titled Les mille et une nuits.
The table of contents was moved from the end of the book to the
beginning to better suit the ebook format.
Footnotes appearing throughout the text were numbered sequentially
and collected at the end of the ebook under _Footnotes_.]
FRONTISPIECE
“The lady happening at the same time to look up to the tree, saw
the two princes, and made a sign to them with her hand to come down
without making any noise. Their fear was extreme when they found
themselves discovered, and they prayed the lady, by other signs, to
excuse them; but she, after having laid the monster’s head softly
down on the ground, rose up, and spoke to them, with a low, but
eager voice, to come down to her; she would take no denial. They
made signs to her that they were afraid of the genie, and would fain
have been excused. Upon which she ordered them to come down, and if
they did not make haste, threatened to awake the genie, and bid him
kill them.”
