It is impossible to watch this book go out into the world
without wondering what Burton himself would have thought of it.
Certainty is impossible, for only Allah knows all; but I do not
think there is reason for much doubt. Burton may have issued his
translation in a strictly limited edition, and adjured his
subscribers to keep it under cover, but to translate and issue the
work at all, under whatever restrictions, was a courageous act in
an age which, even more than our own, "was saturated with cant and
hypocrisy. "Before the limited audience which he chose to address
he defended the obscenity, pornography, or turpiloquium of the
Nights--call it what you will--with vigorous candor and wise
argument. Had the time been ripe for him to come before a larger
audience, he would have done so; but it was not.

1 The Frog-King,or Iron Henry
Jn old times when wishing still helped one,there lived a kingwhose
daughters were all beautiful,but the youngest was sobeautiful that
the sun itself,which has seen so much,was astonishedwhenever it
shone in her face.Close by the King''s castle lay a greatdark
forest,and under an old lime-tree in the forest Was a well,andwhen
the day Was very warm,the King''s child went out into the forestand
sat down by the side of the cool fountain,and when she Was dullshe
took a golden ball,and threw it up on high and caught it,and
thisball Was her favorite plaything.
Now it so happened that on one occasion the princess''s golden
balldid not fall into the little hand which she was holding up for
it,but onto the ground beyond,and rolled straight into the
water.The King''sdaughter followed it with her eyes,but it
vanished,and the well wasdeep,so deep that the bottom COuld not be
seen.On this she began tocry,and cried louder and louder,and could
not be comforted.And asshe thus lamented someone said to her,"What
ails you,King''sdaughter?You weep so that even a stone would show
pity."Shelooked round to the side from whence the voice came.and
saw a frogstretching forth its thick,ugly head from the
water."Ah!old water-splasher,is it you?"said she,"I am weeping for
my golden ball,which has fallen into the well."
