Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Damsel of Darien, Vol. 1 of 2 This must account to the reader, if it does not excuse, the numberless errors which will be found within those limits. A few of these may be referred to here, though it would be impossible, in so small a space, to correct the greater number; most of which, it is, perhaps, fortunate, will be sufficiently obvious to render a special notice unnecessary. The name of the accomplished courtier, Diego de Nicuesa, is printed "Nienesa" repeatedly in the first few chapters; at page 22, line 16, "imaging" is printed "in caging;" at page 24, line 25, "parted" appears "painted;" page 27, line 25, for "from the precipice" read "to the precipice;" for "Diego Colon," on the next page, read "Christovallo Colon;" at 31, for "arezto" read "areyto;" at 33, for "coaled shell" read "coated shell;" at 34, line 34, for "out the truth" read "but the truth;" at 37, for "Gomez Davila" read "Felipe Davila;" at 49, omit the word "not" from line 18; at 50, line 5, for "unexpected" read "unexpressed;" same page, line 23, for "hand" read "heart;" next page, in two places, read "Christovallo" for "Diego;" at 61, make the same correction; at 67, for "departimiento" read "repartimiento;" at 68, for Bum read Azuma; at 69, line 33, for Buru read Azuma; line 35, for "Azuma" read "Buru," and wherever on the same page the same names occur, they are required to change places; so, also, on pages 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, and 77.At page 73, line 36, for girl read tribe; same page, line 39, for next read most; at 77, line 6, for continued read contrived; same page, line 8, for hauled read hurled; same page, last line, for fist read foot. At 84, fur Azuma read Buru; same page, for Hawaie read Zemi. These are sufficient samples the rest, more numerous, if less important than these, must be left to the keen eyes and tender charities of the reader; who is solicited to be no less indulgent than critical, and to ascribe to circumstances, rather than wilfulness or neglect, the appearance in this volume of so many blunders, which are the regret equally of publisher and author.
