1 The illustrations are in black-and-white, and are much clearer than those reproduced in the Chinese collections from which some of the stories have been selected, namely Ch'u-k'o p'ai-an ching-ch'i (Shanghai, 1957) and Erh-k'o p'ai-an ching-ch'i (Shanghai, 1957).

2 There are omissions of the original text as, for example, in the piece entitled, “Story of a Braggart,” which omits the lengthy reply of an envoy to a query by Emperor Han Wu-ti (pp. 463-464; see Ch'u-k'o p'ai-an ching-ch'i, p. 53).
