1 _Source_.--From Dr. Douglas Hyde's _Beside the Fire_, 104-28, where it is a translation from the same author's _Leabhar Sgeulaighteachta_. 2 Dr Hyde got it from one Shamus O'Hart, a gamekeeper of Frenchpark. 3 One is curious to know how far the very beautiful landscapes in the story are due to Dr. Hyde, who confesses to have only taken notes. 4 I have omitted a journey to Rome, paralleled, as Mr. Nutt has pointed out, by the similar one of Michael Scott (_Waifs and Strays_, i. 46), and not bearing on the main lines of the story. 5 I have also dropped a part of Guleesh's name: in the original he is "Guleesh na guss dhu," Guleesh of the black feet, because he never washed them; nothing turns on this in the present form of the story, but one cannot but suspect it was of importance in the original form. 6 _Parallels_.--Dr. Hyde refers to two short stories, "Midnight Ride" (to Rome) and "Stolen Bride," in Lady Wilde's _Ancient Legends_. 7 But the closest parallel is given by Miss Maclintock's Donegal tale of "Jamie Freel and the Young Lady," reprinted in Mr. Yeats' _Irish Folk and Fairy Tales_, 52-9. 8 In the _Hibernian Tales_, "Mann o' Malaghan and the Fairies," as reported by Thackeray in the _Irish Sketch-Book_, c. xvi., begins like "Guleesh." ← previous I.
