 NOTE.

The following story occupies the last five Nights (cxcv–cc) of the unfinished Calcutta Edition of 1814–18. The only other text of it known to me is that published by Monsieur Langlès (Paris, 1814), as an appendix to his Edition of the Voyages of Sindbad, and of this I have freely availed myself in making the present translation, comparing and collating with it the Calcutta (1814–18) Text and filling up and correcting omissions and errors that occur in the latter. In the Calcutta (1814–18) Text this story (Vol. II. pp. 367–378) is immediately succeeded by the Seven Voyages of Sindbad (Vol. II. pp. 378–458), which conclude the work.
