I've attached my catalogue entry for the copy I own, which Twain read in 
the Langdon family library. There might be other copies in the Langdon 
family library books preserved at Elmira, but I hope this helps answer 
your question.

Subject: Arabian Nights

>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.
