STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CALIFORNIA,
Jan. 10, 1900.
NOTE TO EDITION OF 1909.--A vocabulary has been added in response to a
considerable demand. Miss Alice P. F. Hubbard, of the University of
Texas, kindly undertook the making of this vocabulary, from which I was
prevented by pressure of other work. I have, however, revised the MS.
and read the proof, and can heartily commend Miss Hubbard's work to
users of this book. Text and notes have also been revised and a few
errors eliminated.
Since the appearance of the first edition Señor Valdés has produced two
excellent novels: _La Aldea Perdida_, and _Tristán, o el Pesimismo_, and
a series of his _Obras Completas_ is now in course of publication. The
list of studies on this author has also increased, and for additional
bibliography I take the liberty of referring to the scholarly edition of
_La Alegría del Capitán Ribot_ by Messrs. Morrison and Churchman (D. C.
Heath & Co.).
