THE TRANSLATOR'S FOREWORD.

This volume has been entitled "THE NEW ARABIAN NIGHTS," a name now hackneyed because applied to its contents as far back as 1819 in Henry Weber's "Tales of the East," .

The original MS. was brought to France by Al-K?hin Diy?nisi?s Sh?w?sh, a Syrian priest of the Congregation of St. Basil, whose name has been Frenchified to Don Dennis Chavis. He was a student at the European College of Al-Kad?s Ithan?si?s in R?miyah the Grand and was summoned by the Minister of State, Baron de Breteuil, to Paris, where he presently became "Teacher of the Arabic Tongue at the College of the Sult?n, King of Frans? in B?r?s the Great." He undertook a continuation of The Nights , and wrote with his own hand the last two leaves of the third tome, which ends with three instead of four couplets: thus he completed Kamar al-Zam?n and the following tales:--

The History of the Sleeper and the Waker . The History of Warlock and the Cook . The History of the Prisoner in the B?m?rist?n or Madhouse . The History of Gh?nim the Thrall o' Love . The History of Zayn al-Asn?m and the King of the J?nn . The History of Alaeddin , and The History of Ten Wazirs .
