I chanced to-day to take up a copy of the "Arabian Nights," in the very remarkable translation recently published by Dr. Mardrus; and I marvelled at the extraordinary picture it gives of the ancient, long-vanished civilisations. Not in the Odyssey or the Bible, in Xenophon or Plutarch, could their teaching be more clearly set forth.
Reibmayr, Entwicklungsgeschichte des Talentes und Genics, Bd. II, p. 31. Mardrus, Les Mille Nuits, vol. xvi, p. 158. In Ch.
