Transcriber’s Notes

This text was transcribed from the unchanged reprint edition in the

collection _HOMOSEXUALITY. Lesbians and Gay Men in Society, History and

Literature_, Arno Press: New York, 1975. Materials from a later date

than the original publication year 1948, such as series title, editorial

information, or publisher advertisements, have been omitted.

The original spelling was mostly preserved. A few obvious typographical

and punctuation errors were silently amended. All other changes are

shown here (before/after):
