Note: Translated by an unknown hand The source for this translation is "the Berlin edition, 1839" (1845, p. 69). It has been published in several other editions under different names of the work or the writer. It may have been published before 1845, perhaps by Burns. The novella begins (p. 7, viewed at HathiTrust):   The Shadowless Man.   Chapter I.   After a prosperous, but to me very wearisome, voyage, we came at last into port. Immediately on landing, I got together my few effects; and, squeezing myself through the crowd, went into the nearest and humblest inn which first met my gaze. On asking for a room, the waiter looked at me from head to foot, and conducted me to one.
