PREFACE.
Numerous as are the editions of the Arabian Nights’
Entertainments, and frequently as they have received the
embellishments of the artist, yet an Edition was still wanting, more
easily accessible to the general reader, and which, while it
combined economy, should not be deficient in elegance or
illustration. To supply this chasm in the Literature of Romance, is
the object of the Edition now offered to the public; and it can
scarcely be necessary to observe, that although the Engravings are
more numerous than in any preceding Edition, the vigour and spirit
with which they are executed, will recommend them even to the
admirers of the arts. These Engravings, the whole of which are from
original designs, made expressly for this work, are nearly one
hundred in number. The subjects have been very happily selected, and
it will be seen with how much skill the Artist has embodied the
humour and spirit of the Author. Under these circumstances, the
Publisher has no doubt but that he will enjoy the double
gratification of giving to the public the cheapest Edition of the
Thousand and One Tales of the inimitable Oriental Story Teller, and
of supplying a work, which, in point of embellishment, may be found
worthy of a place in the best libraries.
