Supplemental Nights to the Thousand Nights and a Night With Notes Anthropological and Explanatory-Volume 5
Contents:
[Preface]
To The Curators of the Bodleian Library, Oxford
Especially Revd. B. Price and Professor Max Muller.
Gentlemen,
I take the liberty of placing your names at the Head of this
Volume which owes its rarest and raciest passages to your kindly
refusing the temporary transfer of the Wortley Montague MS. from
your pleasant library to the care of Dr. Rost, Chief Librarian,
India Office. As a sop to "bigotry and virtue," as a concession
to the "Scribes and Pharisees," I had undertaken, in case the
loan were granted, not to translate tales and passages which
might expose you, the Curators, to unfriendly comment. But,
possibly anticipating what injury would thereby accrue to the
Volume and what sorrow to my subscribers, you were good enough
not to sanction the transfer—indeed you refused it to me twice—
and for this step my clientele will be (or ought to be) truly
thankful to you.
I am, Gentlemen,
Yours obediently,
Richard F. Burton.
Bodleian Library, August 5th, 1888
