Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical View of the Literature of the South of Europe, Vol. 1 The established reputation of M. de Sismondi, as an elegant and accomplished writer, will preclude the necessity of any apology, for presenting to the public a new edition of a work which has already, in its original form, acquired an extensive and merited celebrity. It has been the object of the Editor, in the revision of his task, to adhere as closely as possible to the text of the original; no part of which he has taken upon himself either to suppress or enlarge, with the exception of one or two peculiar instances, where the extent of the alteration is pointed out. With regard to the poetical extracts, introduced by M. de Sismondi, and which are generally translated by him into French prose, the Editor has adopted, where practicable, such established English translations as already existed. In other instances he has either been indebted to the kindness of his friends, or has been compelled to insert his own metrical versions. In the Memoir appended to the present edition, it has been his endeavour to comprise, in a brief review, the principal facts and the most interesting topics connected with the life and labours of the Author; while he has avoided those of a merely controversial nature. He has, therefore, purposely abstained from any detail of the differences of opinion which existed between M. Sismondi and the historian of Lorenzo de´ Medici, respecting "that great potentate," as he is justly denominated by Bacon, and which gave rise to the vindication of his character in a separate publication by Mr. Roscoe, entitled, "Illustrations of the Life," &c.
