Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night (Supplemental Nights), Vol. 11 of 12: Translated From the Arabic IT hath been related that in Tarabulus-town2 Of Syria was a Kazi appointed under orders of the Caliph Harun al-rashid to adjudge law-suits and dissolve contracts and cross-examine witnesses; and after taking seat in his Mahkamah3 his rigour and severity became well known to all men. Now this judge kept a black handmaiden likest unto a buffalo-bull, and she cohabited with him for a lengthened while; for his nature was ever niggardly nor could anyone wrest from him half a faddah or any alms-gift or aught else and his diet was of biscuit 4 and onions. Moreover, he was ostentatious as he was miserly: he had an eating-cloth bordered with a fine bell-fringe,5 and when any person entered about dinner-time or supper-tide he would cry out, O handmaid, fetch the fringed table-cloth and all who heard his Words would say to themselves, By Allah, this must needs be a costly thing. Presently one day of the days his assessors and officers said to him, O our lord the Kazi, take to thyself a wife, for yon negress becometh'not a dignitary of thy degree. Said he, An this need be, let any who hath a daughter give her to me in wedlock and 1 will espouse her. Herewith quoth one present, I have a fair daughter and a marriageable whereto quoth the Kazi, An thou wouldst do me a favour, this is the time. SO the bride was fitted out and the espousals took place forthright, and that same night the Kazi's father-in-law came to him and led him in to his bride, saying in his heart, I am now connected with the Kazi. And he took pleasure in the thought, for he knew naught of the judge's stinginess and he could not suppose but that his daughter would.
