{{Tr|Ellen Marriage}} With a Preface by George Saintsbury --title page (viewed at Internet Archive) The next pairs of page images show the Content and List of Illustrations, unnumbered pp. v and vii. From the Preface, pp. ix-xii: "I hesitated between "The Piece of Shagreen" and "The Wild Ass' Skin" for the title, but Balzac's own remarks decided me. "The Magic Skin" is very weak, and "The Skin of Shagreen" is hideous." (xi) Reginald reports The Wild Ass's Skin by Honore de Balzac.
