Quotes

• “It is not, perhaps, unreasonable to conclude, that a pure and perfect democracy is a thing not attainable by man, constituted as he is of contending elements of vice and virtue, and ever mainly influenced by the predominant principle of self-interest. It may, indeed, be confidently asserted, that there never was that government called a republic, which was not ultimately ruled by a single will, and, therefore, (however bold may seem the paradox,) virtually and substantially a monarchy.”
• “The utility of translations is universally felt, and therefore there is a continual demand for them. But this very circumstance has thrown the practice of translation into mean and mercenary hands.”
• “I. ... the Translation should give a complete transcript of the ideas of the original work.II. ... the style and manner of writing should be of the same character with that of the original.III. ... the Translation should have all the ease of original composition.”
• “An ordinary translator sinks under the energy of his original: the man of genius frequently rises above it.”
• “Works which consist of fact and detail demand a more scrupulous fidelity than those of which the basis is sentiment.”
• “It is always a fault when the translator adds to the sentiment of the original author, what does not strictly accord with his characteristic mode of thinking, or expressing himself.”
