Supplemental Nights V7: To The Book Of The Thousand Nights And A Night (1888) is a literary work by Richard Francis Burton. This book is the seventh volume in a series of supplemental stories that were added to the original collection of tales known as The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night. The stories in this volume were collected by Burton during his travels throughout the Middle East and Asia, and they offer a unique perspective on the cultures and societies of these regions. The tales in this volume range from humorous anecdotes to dark and mysterious fables, and they are all presented in Burton’s distinctive style, which is characterized by his extensive knowledge of the languages and customs of the regions he visited. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the literature and folklore of the Middle East and Asia, as well as for those who appreciate the work of Richard Francis Burton, one of the most important figures in the history of travel writing and exploration.With Notes Anthropological And Explanatory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
