1813^ⓘ Translated by Sarah Elizabeth Utterson from the 1812 French-language translation of the original German --1813 "Advertisement", pp. [i]-ii Wikisource (above) provides for Author:Sarah Elizabeth Utterson electronic texts of all works in the 1813 anthology but does not explain the attribution.

2018^ⓘ Unknown translation from the original German, perhaps new in 2018 "The Fantasmagoriana stories also collected here are translated directly from the German originals, and are the ones Mary mentions in the Introduction to her 1831 edition of Frankenstein [see at ISFDB], where she talks about how her novel came to be written." --Fiona Sampson, "Foreword: Mary Shelley Horror Stories" (2018) Thus the four Fantasmagoriana texts in the 2018 anthology are not those discussed by Shelley and her friends in 1816; namely, Eyries's 1812 translations from German to French (Fantasmagoriana, 8 stories). Whether the 2018 texts are new translations from the German originals is an open question. In the 2018 anthology, this one of four Fantasmagoriana immediately follows "Prefaces to Tales of the Dead", by Utterson, which partly concerns her five 1813 translations.
