PG Editor's Note: This early contribution to Project Gutenberg has been reproofed with many corrections of spelling, scannos and punctuation. The html file has received many hours of work to make the illustrations visible and the file conform to WCA standards. A great deal more work is needed to bring this file to prsent day PG standards. I have hopes another volunteer will find a print copy of this work which can be scanned and digitized to produce a file to replace this, as yet, unsatisfactory edition. DW
PREFACE
AS the scope of the first series of these Tales seems to have been somewhat overlooked, a few words of introduction may not be out of place before this second volume.
