PREFACE.
This second part of The Book of Lost Tales is arranged on the same lines
and with the same intentions as the first part, as described in the
Foreword to it, pages to -- i t. References to the first part are given in the
form 'I. 240', to the second as 'p. 240', except where a reference is made to
both, e.g. 'I. 222, II. 292'.
As before, I have adopted a consistent (if not necessarily 'correct')
system of accentuation for names; and in the cases of Mim and Niniel,
written thus throughout, I give Mim and Niniel.
The two pages from the original manuscripts are reproduced with the
permission of the Bodleian Library, Oxford, and I wish to express my
thanks to the staff of the Department of Western Manuscripts at the
Bodleian for their assistance. The correspondence of the original pages
to the printed text in this book is as follows:
(i) The page from the manuscript of The Tale of Tinuviel. Upper
part: printed text page 24 (7 lines up, the sorest dread) to page 25 (line 3,

(2) The page from the manuscript of The Fall of Condolin. Upper
part: printed text page 189 (line 12, "Now," therefore said Galdor to
line 20 if no further."). Lower part: printed text page 189 (line 27, But
the others, led by one Legolas Greenleaf) to page 190 (line ii,
