THE·COMPLETE·WORKS·OF·MIGUEL DE·CERVANTES·SAAVEDRA·VOL·II GALATEA EDITED·BY·JAS·FITZMAURICE-KELLY TRANSLATED·BY·H·OELSNER·&·A·B·WELFORD GOWANS·&·GRAY·GLASGOW·NOV·1^{ST} 1903 [Illustration] PUBLISHERS' NOTE in explanation of the different types employed. In order to prevent a difficulty that sometimes arises of distinguishing between the author and the editor, especially when author's and editor's notes to a text both occur, the following plan has been adopted. The text of the author and its variants have been printed throughout in 'old style' type, while all notes &c. added by the editor have been set in 'condensed' type. It is hoped that this innovation will be found of no small service to the general reader as well as to the student. INDEX Pag.
