Excerpt from The Short Stories of Apuleius: With Introduction and Notes

Purser's edition of Cupid and Psyche has been of great assistance in preparing the notes upon that portion of the text. Butler's translations of the Metamorphoses and the Apology have been used and his renderings have been often adopted in the introductory study.

In the few cases Where expurgation seemed advisable the point of the tale has in no instance been affected. In the one case Where expurgation would have spoiled the story the editor has included the text, but Without commentary. This was done that a complete view of the short story as found in Apuleius might be presented.
