  • Price from review in "New Books in Brief Review", The Independent (New York) 120.4058 (1928-03-10) p237 (This positive review emphasizes Hearn's contribution as translator, and does not mention Boyd.)
  • Contents including page numbers are those of the 1899 to 1915 Brentano's eds./printings with matching page count 388 (several viewed online). Hearn's note "To the Reader" (p[v]-xi or p[ix]-xvi in earlier Brentano's) is also retained here. That is uncertain, but plausible because the Hearn's "Addenda" constitute p383-88 presumably.
