The fourth of these stories was translated from the original German by Thomas De Quincey in Knight's Quarterly Magazine (1823), which was followed by Robert Pearse Gillies' translations of the first two directly from the German in German Stories (1826), and Charles John Tibbits' abridged translation of the first story in Terrible Tales: German (1891).
