To say nothing of the Spanish translation, which has for some years past been provided by the Publisher in the No me Olvides, a German version of the prose tales in the last volume has been printed at Stuttgard, as the commencement of a series. The plan of a French translation has also suggested itself; and it seems not improbable that at least partial copies of this work may, ere long, make their regular appearance in the principal languages of the civilized world.

The Publisher and Editor cannot omit this opportunity of presenting their best thanks to all the literary contributors and artists whose talents have co-operated in the production of this volume. They also acknowledge their particular obligations to John Allnutt, Esq. of Clapham, for the gratuitous loan of two pictures in his valuable collection, The Hop Girl, and The Logicians; to Mr. T. Lupton, for the use of Martin's exquisite drawing of The Seventh Plague; and to Mr. Freeman, of Norwich, for that of The Wedding Ring.
