DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Eastern Legends and Stories: In English Verse The author, in submitting to the Public the following collection of Translations from Eastern sources, has thought it best to convert for the most part the Oriental forms of speech, which the characters in these Legends would use, into, as far as may be, their English equi valents; that what is said might sound more real in Western ears. He has reduced the number of foot-notes to the narrowest possible limits, believing that in a work of light poetry the constant intervention of notes becomes tiresome to the reader. Many, in reading this small collection of Legends, will doubtless recognize some Old Friends with New Faces.'
