[Redactor's Note--There are some Greek letters in this volume
(_Silence--A Fable_, the introduction, and two words in _The
Assignation_) which may not display correctly in the ISO character
set. Use of a word processor with the WP Greek character set may
restore the Greek original. Some endnotes are by Poe and some were
added by Griswold. In this volume the notes are at the end.]
