Don Quixote de La Mancha ~ Paperback ~ Charles Jarvis

Excerpt from Don Quixote De La Mancha: Translated From the Spanish of Miguel Cervantes In publishing a new edition of Don Quixote, little, at least in this place, need be said of the excellence of the work itself. Its peculiar merits will be discussed hereafter. Time, however, has put his mark upon it, and that is no bad criterion, by which to judge: more than two centuries have elapsed, and Don Quixote is still universally read. The translation of Jarvis has been chosen, as being the best hitherto written. It has been now carefully revised, and such errors, as were apparent, corrected. The poetry of every former edition has been, in many points, very defective, particularly in respect to fidelity of translation.
