Translated by Sarah Elizabeth Utterson, perhaps uncredited
Library records imply that the translator is not credited on the title page.
This is a new edition of 1813 anthology Tales of the Dead, "principally translated from the French" by Utterson.
Five of the six stories were translated by Utterson, who wrote the other story herself. All contributions were uncredited.
"The English translation from the French as Tales of the Dead appeared in 1813, but would not be reprinted until almost a hundred and eighty years later."
