Excerpt from The Adventures of Hajji Baba, of Ispahan, Vol. 1 of 2
Although the principal function of a work of fiction is to entertain, to describe H ajji Baba merely as an entertaining story would be to give a most inadequate idea of its value. The amusement which it affords to the ordinary novel-reader, who seeks from its perusal nothing beyond amusement, is, moreover, amply attested by the favourable reception accorded to the book on its first appearance in 1824, and by the several editions (in 1828, 1835, 1856, 1863, etc.) which have since been called for. It has long been ranked amongst standard English novels, nor is it likely to be displaced so long as the English nation is able to appreciate good literature. Every cultivated Englishman who has not read Hajji Baba (if, indeed, the Englishman who has read it not can, in the full meaning of the term, be described as cultivated) should at once proceed to remedy this defect in his education. If he be a normally constituted person, with a reasonably well-developed sense of humour, he will hardly lay the book aside until he has finished.
