PREFACE.
n compiling this volume of Eastern Tales, the Editor has been carefulto select only those best suited to youthful readers. They have beengathered from both ancient and modern, French, Italian, and Englishsources, and therefore offer great variety of style and subject.
In the stories taken from the Tales of the Genii, an omission of a fewwords has been made, to fit them for their place in this volume.
