Appendix I: Genealogy
[from life, etc., by Samuel Longfellow, III. 421.]
the name of Longfellow is found in the records of Yorkshire, England, as far back as 1486, and appears under the various spellings of Langfellay, Langfellowe, Langfellow, and Longfellow.
The first of the name is James Langfellay, of Otley.
In 1510 Sir Peter Langfellowe is vicar of Calverley.
In the neighboring towns of Ilkley, Guiseley, and Horsforth lived many Longfellows, mostly yeomen: some of them well-to-do, others a charge on the parish; some getting into the courts and fined for such offences as cutting green wode, or greenhow, or carrying away the Lord's wood,—wood from the yew-trees of the lord of the manor, to which they thought they had a right for their bows.

Appendix III: translations of Mr. Longfellows works
The following catalogue of translations of Mr. Longfellow's works is based, of course, upon that prepared by Mr. Samuel Longfellow for the memoir of his brother.
This is here, however, revised, corrected, and much enlarged, partly by the addition of later versions and partly by others gathered from European bibliographies and publishers' lists; this work being aided by the learned guidance of Professor Wiener of Harvard University.
Even with this enlargement the list is doubtless quite incomplete; so widely scattered are these translations among the periodicals and even the schoolbooks of different nations, and so much time and labor would be required to furnish an absolutely complete exhibit.
