Note: Translated by an unknown hand In the 1913 anthology (and Gutenberg ebook), the introduction to this work is mainly biographical. Of the story it notes, "a new translation of which is published in the present volume." It closes "H. Robertson Murray", no date. The only other essay is the introduction to "The Marvellous History", which does not identify its translator, nor mention "The Cold Heart". It closes "Dr. A. S. Rappoport" and "September 1913". The text of this translation begins: Part I, "He who travels through Suabia should not pass without seeing something of the Black Forest; not because of the trees, although such countless masses of stately pines are not to be met with everywhere; but because of the people, who differ remarkably from their neighbours on every side." Part II, "On the Monday morning when Peter arrived at his Glassworks, he found not only his workpeople there, but also some very unwelcome visitors; these were the Bailiff and three of his myrmidons."
