Excerpt from The Adventures of Hatim Taï: A Romance

The English translation of the original Persian, was, for the first time, printed in England in the year 1830. It, however, passed through its second edition in this country in the year 1836, and the short Space of time within which it went through a second edition bears testimony to its sterling merits as a book of amuse ment and interest. The work, though a fiction in its character, purports to describe the adventures of a man well-known for the liberality of his disposition, and the magnanimity of his heart, as the true benefactor of mankind, and is thus calculated to convey in a very high degree a clear conception of the characteristics of oriental life and modes of thought.

Not a single copy either of the first or of the second edition can be had at present even for reference's sake, owing no doubt to the long space of time which has elapsed since the date of the last edition. After a great deal of trouble I succeeded in getting a copy of it, from which this third edition is now offered to the public.
