Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Poems Original and Translated, Vol. 1
In anticipation of the probable charge of pla giarism, as applicable-to his translations generally, the author would merely remark that he has never permitted 'himself to be deterred, by the dread of such an imputation, from converting to his own use particular expressions and phrases, or even en tire lines or paragraphs, of preceding translators, where it has appeared to him that no variation, but for the worse, could be made or attempted. And this is all that he conceives it necessary to adduce in justification of a practice which he is perfectly ready to acknowledge. At the same time, however, he is not conscious to himself of having taken any frequent or extravagant advan tage of the license which he thus claims.
