The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night Volume 4 is a continuation of the translation by by Sir Richard Francis Burton, of a collection of stories framed by the setting of The Story of King Shahyar and the woman, Shahrazad (Scheherazade) who told him tales for 1,001 nights to preserve her life and the lives of other women from the king's misogynist efforts.
This was published by The Burton Club in 1885. The cover I used is taken from a totally different edition, because the Gutenberg Project one doesn't actually have a cover.
