[2] Of the seventy-six poems that make up the _Rimas_, thirty-two are given in literal English rendering by Lucy White Jennison (“Owen Innsley”) as the third section of her _Love Songs and Other Poems_ (The Grafton Press, New York, 1883), and a few are similarly rendered by Mrs. Humphry Ward in the article already mentioned. A complete translation in English verse, by Jules Renard of Seattle, has just come (1908) from The Gorham Press, Richard G. Badger, Boston.
[3] Not, to my knowledge, translated into English.
[4] Except for a few magazine waifs and strays, usually in abridged form, and for seven out of the twelve stories in W. W. Gibbings’ _Terrible Tales_, where the translation, according to Professor Olmsted, is “often inaccurate,” these legends have not before been translated into English. The twenty-one here given include everything even remotely in the nature of a tale contained in the three volumes, with the exception of the two East Indian legends already mentioned, and the two witchcraft tales in _From My Cell_. Good as these witch stories are, it seemed a pity to take them out of their context. What might be considered further omission is noted later. Of the translations in this volume, several have appeared in _Short Stories_, two in _The Churchman_, and one in the _Boston Evening Transcript_.
[5] And therefore has not been included in this volume.
[6] Not included in this volume because it should not be taken from its context.
