Notes First edition published in two volumes but withdrawn due to criticism. Likely to have been published with Smith as a signed author on the title page, but the Signed Author field is blank as the exact wording cannot be verified (see Charlotte Smith: A Critical Biography p. 80-83). Smith listed as author in addition to translator as Chawton House credits her with substantial adaptations of the original story.
