Front Vol. 1 "The many attempts made in Europe to imitate the eastern manner of writing, by men totally unacquainted with the literature of Asia, induced the translator of the following tales to present the public with a genuine specimen of oriental composition, as nearly as the very different idioms of the English and Persian languages would permit." To the reader "The author Inatula to the reader" Front Vol. 1 “To the liberal patrons of science, to the ornaments of the society of knowledge; to the descendants of the fun of genius, whose minds are enlightened like the morning, be it known, that in the days of joy and sensitivity, in the temperate season of delight, when by the benign influence of the king of the stars the teeming earth was clothed in green, embroidered with bright clusters of flowers, the envy of the constellations, I walked forth with a few cheerful companions, from the tumultuous waves of business, into the calm of rural retirement, to recreate the mind with the prospect of vernal beauty."
