Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some Observations Upon the Civilization of the Western Barbarians: Particularly of the English; Made During a Residence of Some Years in Those Parts This Translation of the Work of Ah-Chin-le is trustworthy as to the meaning of the Text - though the literal translation has not been, in many cases, attempted. Preserving the Spirit of the Author, the Translator has desired to be intelligible in good, readable English. Where it is impossible to give the precise thought of a mind so differently cultured, the nearest English is given. It is hoped that the inherent difficulty of the task may excuse errors of grammar and style. The Translator has been so absorbed in his Author, that he fears he may have often slipped in his Syntax, and been rude in his manner. However, with whatever faults, he hands the volume to his Countrymen - thinking that they may be as much interested in it as he has been; and may derive as much amusement. If it do not commend itself for its Wisdom, it may, at least, for its novelty - that is, as a genuine expression of intelligent Chinese opinion, concerning the "Civilization of the Western Barbarians, and particularly of the English" The Author´s own Preface explains the Origin of the- Work, and its claims to consideration.
