    • Reprint of the Dover republication: "This Dover edition, first published in 1968, is an unabridged and altered republication of the work originally published by McClure, Phillips & Co. in 1900." --t.p. verso
    • Data mainly from Amazon UK 2017-06-21, under heading "Donegal Fairy Stories (Dover Children's Classics) Paperback – Facsimile, 6 Sep 1976", with "Look Inside!" that lacks title page, shows no date, shows back cover with ISBN and price $8.95. Publication series and price not entered here, as both imply a later printing, in context of other database records.
    • WorldCat library records (OCLC, below): -- give page-counts xv+256 and xvi+256 but p.xii is the last numbered preliminary page and its content ends p[xiii] -- confirm year 1976
    • "Look Inside!" includes: -- copyright page, quoted above -- Table of Contents, p.ix, which for the 10 stories lists the numbers of plain interior title pages 1, 29, etc. -- "Our Tales", p.xi-[xiii], closes "Seumas MacManus." (right, over flush left) "Donegal, Old Lammas Day, 1900." -- undated publisher catalog follows the text, about 12 pages
    • Comparison with the 1st ed., 3rd impression 1901-10, viewed at HathiTrust Digital Library: -- shows that the facsimile does not include book cover design (perhaps dust jacket), probably spans p[v]-256 (after title page, to end of text) -- confirms that the essay and 10 stories begin on page numbers below
