Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of the Life of Our Lord Jesus Christ: From His Incarnation Until His Ascension, Denoting and Incorporating the Words of the Sacred Text From the Vulgate; Also, the History of the Acts of the Apostle The first part of this work, viz., the "Life of Our Lord Jesus Christ," has been already published on the other side of the Atlantic; but somehow the translation was not approved of by American readers, and I have endeavored to place before them a new version of a work so justly esteemed. In looking over the translation already made by a learned gentleman of Dublin, I very soon perceived that his great error lay in a too close adherence to the original, thereby cramping and constraining, to a certain extent, the English meaning. There is no denying that the translation is, in the main, a faithful one; but it is in many instances too faithful to the French to be altogether true to the English, seeing that the genius of the two languages is so very, very different. If I have succeeded, even partially, in making this great work acceptable to the American public, I shall be well repaid for my labor. With respect to the second part, the "Lives of the Apostles," I am not aware that it has been as yet translated, and I feel happy to offer it to those who cannot enjoy it in the beauty of the original. I am fully conscious that my translation will give but a faint idea of the author´s style, but I have the poor consolation of knowing that very few translations ever do. I have done it to the best of my ability; and if it be not all that the reader could wish, surely it is better than having a work so rare and so valuable locked up in the recesses of a foreign language.
