This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed.

For assuredly no two men that ever lived, one being a Frenchman and the other an Englishman, if they desired to express exactly the same thought, would express it with merely this difference, that one would use French and the other English words. The result is that what we should praise as an idiomatic, others might perhaps condemn as not a literal translation; what they would praise we should pronounce to be hardly a translation at all. The translator of the volume before us, then, has set before herself an ideal of excellence different from ours, and it is therefore no wonder that she has not attained ours. We give one or two examples to illustrate our meaning. Let any one read the following sentence out loud, and see whether any one of his audience would think it possible that itt should be the natural expression in England of the thoughts of any person in the world: --"One must needs have tried corporeal infirmity, parted with his keenest repugnance, and afterwards became reconciled thereto, if he would know on what peaceful terms one may live with humiliation, habitual suffering, and constant inconvenience" (p. 191). Again: --' Exaggerated expressions do not chord with the idea, and wound the ear of an exact mind" (p. 7). These we might call merely French sentences in words more or less English. We might give similar instances from almost every page of the volume if it were necessary. In fairness we ought to add that there could hardly be a French writer more difficult to translate than Madame Swetchine. The short epigrammatic terms of French aphorisms are the despair of a translator. We must not conclude our...
