          <note>The story of 'Aladdin' was apparently first incorporated into ""The Thousand and One Nights"", in a French translation after 1709,  when Antoine Galland discovered in the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris two Arabic manuscripts containing ""Aladdin"" and two more of the 'interpolated' tales. It seems from the evidence that Gertrude Bell may have been reading a re-translation into Arabic, perhaps even a child's edition. </note>

It"s not very difficult, I must confess, still it"s ordinary good Arabic, not for beginners, and I find it too charming for words. Moreover, I see that I really have learnt a good deal since I came for I couldn"t read just for fun to save my life. It is satisfactory, isn"t it. I look forward to a time when I shall just read Arabic &amp;mdash; like that!" </ptr>
