Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Travels Through Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and Sicily, Vol. 1 of 2: Translated From the German of Frederic Leopold Count Stolberg He who has written, or he who has but translated, a book finds a strong impulse, if he knew how, to convey to the reader the conceptions he has entertained of himself during his progress, the labour he has sustained, the acumen he has displayed, and the difficulties he has overcome. But of what import is it, to the reader, though he may have turned over a thousand volumes a thousand × to detect, to elucidate, or to escape error? And, if ten thousand of these errors have been thus escaped, should any remain, he is still accountable: he is still interrogated on his ignorance; and asked why he did not turn over more books, and take care to be better informed? A man unused to the rigorous discipline will be impatient under it: he, who is become a veteran in this just and necessary sufferance, will allow it to be both inevitable and wholesome: wholesome to himself, more wholesome still to others; and, reflecting that error is unlimited, and that mortal labour must have its boundary, will smile instead of being angry at that which he has the presence of mind to recollect is not wholly to be avoided.
