TH^ PRINCIPAI. STREET OF BAGDAD, WHERE THE JEWS AND MOSLEMS THRONG 



"If the 'Forty Thieves' started operations in Bagdad nowadays they would go to jail; 

 Sinbad himself would be asked to 'tell it to the Danes.' Dashing Zobeida, with her fast 

 social set, would sigh in vain for the gay life of old. Modern Bagdad has no time for 

 scandal and duels; it has found its work" (see text, page 552).
