THE BOOK OF THE

THOUSAND NIGHTS AND A NIGHT

A Plain and Literal Translation
of the Arabian Nights Entertainments

Translated and Annotated by
Richard F. Burton

VOLUME FIVE

Privately Printed By The Burton Club

To Doctor George Bird.

My Dear Bird,
This is not a strictly medical work, although in places
treating of subjects which may modestly be called hygienic. I
inscribe it to you because your knowledge of Egypt will enable
you to appreciate its finer touches; and for another and a yet
more cogent reason, namely, that you are one of my best and
oldest friends.

Ever yours sincerely,

Richard F. Burton

Athenæum Club, October 20, 1885.
