Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Excerpt from Aladdin: Or, the Wonderful LampThe Arabian Nights' Entertainments are perhaps the only series of stories that give a correct view of ancient Oriental manners and customs. Some of the tales, however, have become more popular than others. Among the most noted, that of aladdin stands deservedly pre-eminent. Translated into almost every language, it has obtained a high rank in all. It has been dramatized, we know not how frequently, and, at the same time, has served as a theme for innumerable poets. The thousand ways in which it has become known, have rendered it as familiar as a household word; while, with the rest of the series, it has grown classic, and obtained with them a place in almost every well-selected library. Many of the romances, however, though innocent to maturer age, are cal culated to awaken ideas and create impressions in early youth which parents might consider objectionable. Aladdin, however, had very few faults of the kind, and 'revised, modified, and corrected, as it has been in the present edition, has become a highly-wrought moral story, calculated to produce a pleasing and permanent effect. Children are always poets.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
