I recall that Twain was interested in the The Arabian Nights and I was 
wondering is someone familiar with his library can tell me what edition 
he owned and who the translator was.  This is in relation to my interest 
in the parallels between Richard Burton and Mark Twain.  I know Twain 
did not read Burton's translation. I doubt that it left England, where 
it was considered by some to be pornographic.
