Excerpt from The Arabian Nights Entertainments, Vol. 3 of 4: With an Introduction, Illustrative of the Religion, Manners, and Customer of the MohammedansOthers maintained, and amongst the rest Khacan, that neither beauty nor all bodily perfections were the only things to be desired in a slave, but that they ought to be accompanied with a great share of wit, prudence, modesty, and agreeableness, and, if possible, much pleasing knowledge. The reason they gave for it was, that nothing could be more agreeable to per sons ou whom the management of important affairs depends, than, after having spent the whole day in that fatiguing employment, to have a companion in their retirement, whose conversation is not only pleas ing, but useful and amusing For, in short, continued they, there is but little difference between brutes and those men who keep a slave only to look at, and gra tify a passion that we have in common with them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
