Page 182.—1.{182-1} For the life and works of Fernández Guardia, see page xviii of the Introduction. The text of Un alma is taken from Cuentos Ticos, por D. Ricardo Fernández Guardia, San José de Costa Rica, 1901. The reader should note the purely classical Castilian used in this story, which suggests the English of Nathaniel Hawthorne or of Washington Irving.
