  - is an introduction to the two-volume set and is not related to Poe's poem "Preface"
  - is uncredited but written in the first person and clearly by Poe
  - is on unnumbered p. 5.
- "Why the Little Frenchman Wears His Hand in a Sling" is thought to have been published prior to this, sometime 1837-1839, or it would be the only story in this two-volume set not to have been published previously. But no record of prior publication has been found.
