The want of a well-selected series of French Translations has long been felt by three classes of readers: those who are altogether ignorant of the language; those who know it so slightly as not to be able to appreciate its beauties of style and redundancies of meaning; and those who, although well able to do so, have neither the time nor the means at hand to prosecute any very extensive researches into the more recondite provinces of French Literature. To supply the wants of these three classes we propose to issue a series of translations, embracing one entire cycle of literary progress, extending from Mme. de Sévigné to the French Revolution. These translations will be executed in the best possible manner, and a conscientious endeavour will be made to render them not merely transcripts of the sense, but also correct reflexes of the style. The selections from each author will be made with the double view of rendering the collection as entertaining and as instructive as possible, and also of giving the most striking samples of that author's beauties and peculiarities; they will be prefixed by a comprehensive memoir of each author, and will be supplied with such annotations as may be necessary fully to explain the text. All passages tending against morality or the principles of religion will be carefully excluded from the selection. In carrying out this idea, it is not the intention of the projectors to confine themselves to those great authors whose names are most conspicuous in French Literature. Many authors of less note, but not inferior interest, will be admitted, and some of them will probably be introduced for the first time to the English reader. The series will appear in fortnightly numbers, containing thirty-two pages foolscap 8vo., at Threepence per number, so that two volumes, of 350 pages each, will be issued in the course of a year. Subscriptions and Orders to be forwarded to Mr. JOHN CROCKFORD, 29, Essex-street, Strand, London. On August 1 will be published, price 3d., stamped 4d. No. III. of SACRED POETRY, selected by the Editors of choicest Sacred Poetry that has been published, and is printed in the same size and style as BEAUTIFUL POETRY. A Number will appear on the 1st of every month. London: JOHN CROCKFORD, 29, Essex Street, Strand. |
