The History of Abudah and the Search for the Talisman of Oromanes • 2. The History of the Sultan Misnar and the Four Enchanters Series 1 and 2 retold from Tales of the Genii; or, The Delightful Lessons of Horam the Son of Asmar (1765) • 3. "The History of Farrukruz the Favourite of Fortune" – retold from The Delight of the Hearts by Barkhurdar bin Mahmud Turkman Farahi, surnamed Mumtaz • 4. "The History of King Azad and The Two Royal Sheykhs" – retold from The Bagh O Bahar by Mir Amman of Dilhi (numerous diacritical marks omitted) --Foreword and Contents
As of 2017-06-02 HathiTrust Digital Library (hathitrust.org) provides full view of 1 copy of the 1917 US ed. and 3 copies of the 1919 UK ed., mis-catalogued as three copies of the former and one of the latter. Apparently the print books are identical except cover, title leaf, and one advertisement leaf at the back of the UK ed.
