Thousand and one Nights in three Volumes, Edward Willimas Lane, John Murray, 1859, Illustrated by engravings on wood from designs by William Harben, Edited by Edward Stanley Poole

     After fleeing an abusive wife Ma'aruf is transported to a new city by a Haunter who fulfills his wish. When he meets an old friend he takes his advice and pretends to be a wealthy merchant. He borrows money from merchants to give to the poor claiming he is waiting for his baggage train to come. He eventually convinces the king and is offered the king's daughter Dunya. Eventually, he tells Dunya the truth and she tells him to flee until her father dies. When he does she tells her father that the baggage train was attacked and Ma'aruf has gone to settle things. 

While he is gone Ma'aruf meets a plowman and plows for him for a while. He plows up a seal-ring and rubs it to clean it off. A Jinn appears and says he will be his servant. He returns to the city with great wealth. The King and the Wazir are suspicious and the Wazir gives Ma'aruf wine to make him tell the truth. He does and the Wazir steals the ring and sends the King and Ma'aruf to a place far away, where they will starve as he plans to marry Dunya. Dunya tricks him and takes the ring. She sends theWazir to prison and rescues the King and Ma'aruf. But...she keeps the ring a secret because she is more responsible.
