This edition of The Arabian Nights features over 50 of the stories from Burton's translation and also has illustrations from the 1857 edition of the E. W. Lane translation. Burton apparently tried to give something of the flavor of the Arabic manuscript and included all the poetry and the salutations to Allah which along with the rather formal, even antique, English makes for a slow read. Also included are Burton's annotations which are sometimes interesting. Some of these stories were new to me, not having been included in versions I've read elsewhere.

Title page says "from the edition privately printed by The Burton Club" and there is a photograph on the opposite page of, I assume, Sir Richard F. Burton.
