[FN#595] From an early volume of the “Asiatic Journal,” the number of which I did not “make a note of—thus, for once at least, disregarding the advice of the immortal Captain Cuttle.

[FN#596] “It was no wonder,” says this writer, “that his (i.e.

Galland’s) version of the ‘Arabian Nights’ achieved a universal popularity, and was translated into many languages, and that it provoked a crowd of imitations, from ‘Les Mille et Un Jours’ to the ‘Tales of the Genii.’”

[FN#597] This is a version of The Sleeper and the Waker—with a vengeance! Ab� Hasan the Wag, the Tinker, and the Rustic, and others thus practiced upon by frolic-loving princes and dukes, had each, at least, a most delightful “dream.” But when a man is similarly handled by the “wife of his bosom”—in stories, only, of course—the case is very different as the poor chief of police experienced. Such a “dream” as his wife induced upon him we may be sure he would remember “until that day that he did creep into his sepulchre!”

[FN#598] I call this “strikingly similar” to the preceding Persian story, although it has fewer incidents and the lady’s husband remains a monk, she could not have got him back even had she wished; for, having taken the vows, he was debarred from returning to “the world ” which a kalandar or dervish may do as often as he pleases.

[FN#599] “The Woman’s trick against her Husband.”
