After a silence of more than three years, due to other
engrossing occupations, the writer once more appeals to
his readers with a volume in which the leading features
of his former works will probably be found combined.
The story of "Odatis" is derived from Athenæus. That
of "Clytæmnestra in Paris" follows accurately, in all
matters of fact, the evidence given in the well-known
Fenayrou trial of August, 1882. The "Three Breton
Poems" are from the "Barzaz Breiz." One of them,
"The Foster Brother," has, as the author has learnt
since his version was written, already appeared in a
volume of Translations from the same source, published
some years ago.
