NOTE.
As the version of the sixth and seventh voyages of Sindbad the Sailor contained in[1] the Calcutta Edition (1814–18) of the first two hundred Nights and in the text of the Voyages published by M. Langlès (Paris, 1814) differs very materially from that of the complete Calcutta (1839–42) Edition[2] (which is, in this case, practically identical with those of Boulac and Breslau), adopted by me as my standard text in the translation of “The Book of the Thousand Nights and One Night,” the story of the seventh voyage in particular turning upon an altogether different set of incidents, related nearly
- ↑ Or rather appended to. The Voyages of Sindbad the Sailor form no part of the scheme of Nights in this edition, but are divided into “Voyages” only and form a sort of appendix, following the Two hundreth Night. See my “Book of the Thousand Nights and One Night,” Vol. IX. pp. 307–8.
