An Arabic MS., in seven volumes, written in 1764-5, and containing what
is rarely met with, a complete collection of the Thousand and One Tales
of the _Arabian Nights' Entertainments_, was bought from Capt. Jonathan
Scott for £50. Mr. Scott published, in 1811, an edition of the Tales, in
six volumes, in which this MS. is described. He obtained it from Dr.
White, the Professor of Hebrew and Arabic at Oxford, who had bought it
at the sale of the library of Edward Wortley Montague, by whom it had
been brought from the East. It is noticed in Ouseley's _Oriental
Collections_, vol. ii. p. 25.
