Book Description
Excerpt from Half-Hours With the Best Foreign Authors, Vol. 1 While the literature of the English language is, in variety of subject, clearness and beauty of style, and depth of thought, of the highest merit, it is very far from embracing all the valuable literature of the earth, nor can any one attain an extended literary cultivation who devotes himself to it alone. Within the locked casket of the foreign languages there lies hidden a rich treasure of human thought, some acquaintance with which is indispensable to all who desire to gain even a general knowledge of the names and productions of the great thinkers of the world. Yet few of us, in this rushing nineteenth century, with its incessant demands upon our attention, have time to learn to road even one foreign language with fluency, while rare are they who can read all the literary languages with clear appreciation. Fortunately, the best of the literature of those languages has been converted into excellent English prose and verse by the labor of numerous able translators, many of them themselves authors of high merit and not infrequently surpassing in literary skill the writers whose works they translate. The ideas of foreign author's, the souls of their books, are given us by these translators in as clear and comprehensible language as that in which they were originally written, often, indeed, much more so, and there is no great thought extant in the world that cannot be converted into intelligible English.

Book Description
Excerpt from Half-Hours With the Best Foreign Authors, Vol. 3 The literature of France - to which the present volume is devoted - forms a subject of great interest, both bistori cally and critically, and some preliminary discussion of it seems indispensable as introductory to our selections. It was the first to emerge from the gloom of the dark ages, to arouse the sleeping thought of Europe, and to fill the neigh boring nations with the spirit of lyric and epic poetry. And it has been persistent from that time to this, with none of the dormant intervals which have marked the literatures of Germany, Spain, and Italy, and to a minor extent that of England. Its historical details are, there fore, of great importance, but in this introductory note we can give them only in brief outline.
