A new translation of the Persian tales [electronic resource] : from an original version of the Indian comedies of Mocles; Wherein Care has been taken to expunge all those useless Repetitions, and trifling Circumstances, with which the Oriental Writings are encumbered: So that The Stories are rendered less tedious, and more instructive, the Whole being reduced into one small Volume. Designed for the service and amusement of the British ladies. By Edward Button, Gent. A Tale shou'd never be too long. Prior.
