Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Karl Robert Le Fusain: Charcoal Drawing Without a Master; A Complete Practical Treatise on Landscape Drawing in Charcoal
It is undeniable that he is the best trans lator who can transmute the spirit of one language into that of another. To translate properly is to clothe the ideas of a foreign author with a garment of our native words which shall fit them as well as did their original robe; to give the idiom of one lan guage by its corresponding idiom in another; not simply to change the French word into an English one. It is the spirit and not the letter that is asked for by the reader.
