Each translation entry is followed by a list of publications in the ISFDB that contain it, designated by their record numbers, and with a notation of the exact translator credit that appears in the book, if I know it. A page listing the first paragraphs of twelve translations, for comparison, is here.

    1. First published in The Works of Guy de Maupassant [17 volumes] (Akron, Ohio: St. Dunstan Society, 1903; edited and published by M. Walter Dunne). It is not clear which of the many translators who contributed to the complete edition, only some of whose names are known, worked on "Le Horla". (See here for some more information on the Dunne edition.) This translation, or a revised version of it (see No. 5), has been reprinted many times, almost always uncredited, often with slight textual variations. Both versions have also appeared with the title "The Horla, or Modern Ghosts". first paragraph; online text

    2. Translated by George Allan England. Published in The Scrap Book, June 1911, and reprinted in Famous Fantastic Mysteries . According to Sam Moskowitz, George Allan England "was paid sixty dollars for a translation from the French of The Horla, by Guy de Maupassant, which appeared in the June, 1911, THE SCRAP BOOK". This text (which can be heard on LibriVox) actually is nearly identical to the uncredited 1903 Dunne text. (Did England write that one, then?)
