| Aux yeux du critique anonyme, cette traduction, destinée aux lecteurs ne pouvant lire le français, est bienvenue(nbsp): "That [//L'Homme des champs//] deserves to be translated is certain\ ; the present question only is, how far it has been rendered with success[(//Id//., p.(nbsp)56.)]". | Aux yeux du critique anonyme, cette traduction, destinée aux lecteurs ne pouvant lire le français, est bienvenue(nbsp): "That [//L'Homme des champs//] deserves to be translated is certain(nbsp); the present question only is, how far it has been rendered with success[(//Id//., p.(nbsp)56.)]". |

The French author, an admirer of English poetry, and deeply versed in the study of it, has drawn copiously, on many occasions, from our most familiar poets\ ; to restore these passages to the English language, without falling into the very strains of the original authors, was certainly a task that required both still and judgment. For these parts the translator solicits an indulgence, which cannot justly be withheld\ ; but at the intimation, that "didactic poems are of all others the dullest," we can only smile, and ask our classical readers, in what part of the admirable Georgics of Virgil they can trace the finger of dulness[(//Id//., p.(nbsp)345.)]\ ? | One difficulty, peculiar to this undertaking, the translator has mentioned in a short Preface(nbsp); and it will be framed, on the smallest consideration, that it is a real difficulty.
