    • HathiTrust Digital Library provides full view of one copy with original cover -- title page, identical to 1906 Brentano's except three-line publisher statement: "Translated by Lafcadio Hearn" "Theophile Gautier" (no diacritical mark) -- decorated: title page and first page of each story -- stories span p[3]-381
    • Interior appears identical to those of the 1899, 1900 and 1906 Brentano's eds. except [a] where those differ, namely title leaf and p[389], and [b] this ed. lacks the "Memorial verses" by Swinburne, p[vii] (as WorldCat records note). --copies of all four viewed at HathiTrust
