Book Description
Excerpt from The Genuine Remains of Ossian, Literally Translated: With a Preliminary Dissertation Justice both to the hard and to such as relish his works, seems therefore to demand a new translation The present version is an attempt to supply the de sideratum. For its faults I hope I may claim some indulgence, on account of the difficulty of rendering closely into intelligible English, poems remarkable f01 their idiomatic and concise style, and composed in an obsolete dialect, whose poetic vocabulary is extremely copious. I was obliged m several instances to rendel three or four Gaelic terms by the same expression! The disadvantage of the absence of metre and rhq' is so obvious that no reader will fail to make a dul allowance for it. I might easily have rendered tht whole into octosyllabic blank verse; but the metre would not, in this case, compensate for the loss of pen feet fidelity to the original.
