# The Exemplary Novels of Cervantes/Preface

PREFACE
It seems to be generally admitted that in rendering the title of a book from one language into another, the form of the original should be retained, even at the cost of some deviation from ordinary usage. Cicero's work De Officiis is never spoken of as a treatise on Moral Duties, but as Cicero's Offices. Upon the same principle we have not entitled the following collection of tales, Instructive or Moral; though it is in this sense that the author applied to them the epithet exemplares, as he states distinctly in his preface. The Spanish word exemplo, from the time of the archpriest of Hita and Don Juan Manuel, has had the meaning of instruction, or instructive story.
The "Novelas Exemplares" were first published in 1613, three years before the death of Cervantes. They are all original, and have the air of being drawn from his personal experience and observation. Ticknor, in his "History of Spanish Literature," says of them, and of the "Impertinent Curiosity," inserted in the first part of Don Quixote:
—"Their value is different, for they are written with different views, and in a variety of style greater than he has elsewhere shown; but most of them contain touches of what is peculiar in his talent, and are full of that rich eloquence and of those pleasing descriptions of natural scenery which always flow so easily from his pen. They have little in common with the graceful story-telling spirit of Boccaccio and his followers, and still less with the strictly practical tone of Don Juan Manuel's tales; nor, on the other hand, do they approach, except in the case of the 'Impertinent Curiosity,' the class of short novels which have been frequent in other countries within the last century. The more, therefore, we examine them, the more we shall find that they are original in their composition and general tone, and that they are strongly marked with the original genius of their author, as well as with the more peculiar traits of the national character,—the ground, no doubt, on which they have always been favourites at home, and less valued than they deserve to be abroad. As works of invention, they rank, among their author's productions, next after Don Quixote; in correctness and grace of style they stand before it.... They are all fresh from the racy soil of the national character, as that character is found in Andalusia, and are written with an idiomatic richness, a spirit, and a grace, which, though they are the oldest tales of their class in Spain, have left them ever since without successful rivals."
The first three tales in this volume have merely undergone the revision of the editor, having been translated by another before he was engaged on the work. For the rest he alone is responsible.

# The Exemplary Novels of Cervantes/Dedication

DEDICATION
TO DON PEDRO FERNANDEZ DE CASTRO, COUNT OF LEMOS, ANDRADE, AND VILLALBA, &c. Those who dedicate their works to some prince commonly fall into two errors. The first is, that in their dedicatory epistle, which ought to be brief and succinct, they dilate very complacently, whether moved by truth or flattery, on the deeds not only of their fathers and forefathers, but also of all their relations, friends, and benefactors. The second is, that they tell their patron they place their works under his protection and safeguard, in order that malicious and captious tongues may not presume to cavil and carp at them. For myself, shunning these two faults, I here pass over in silence the grandeur and titles of your excellency's ancient and royal house, and your infinite virtues both natural and acquired, leaving it to some new Phidias and Lysippus to engrave and sculpture them in marble and bronze, that they may rival time in duration. Neither do I supplicate your Excellency to take this book under your protection, for I know, that if it is not a good one, though I should put it under the wings of Astolfo's hippogrif, or beneath the club of Hercules, the Zoili, the cynics, the Aretinos, and the bores, will not abstain from abusing it, out of respect for anyone. I only beg your Excellency to observe that I present to you, without more words, thirteen tales, which, had they not been wrought in the laboratory of my own brains, might presume to stand beside the best. Such as they are, there they go, leaving me here rejoiced at the thought of manifesting, in some degree, the desire I feel to serve your Excellency as my true lord and benefactor. Our Lord preserve, &c.
Your Excellency's servant,
MIGUEL DE CERVANTES SAAVEDRA.

MONTESSORI, mon'tës-sō'rē, Maria, Italian educator: b. Rome, about 1872. She was educated to be a physician, and while studying applied herself especially to the investigation of nervous diseases in children, and to the problem of evolving a form of training that would draw out the capabilities of those of diseased and abnormal temperaments. She was the first woman to be graduated in medicine at the University of Rome (1894), and for some time she acted as an assistant in the Psychiatric Clinic and later as a lecturer on anthropology in that institution. Then for six years she was in charge of one of the hospitals for defective children in Rome. Having acquired a familiarity with the systems of Pestalozzi, Fröbel, Seguin, Itard and other early masters, she now developed therefrom a method of educating feeble-minded children under more modern conditions. In 1898-1900 she was directress of the Scuola Ortofrencia, or mind-strengthening school, where she met with marked success in applying the methods, particularly, of Seguin and Ilard to the education of defectives. She then devoted herself to the study of experimental psychology, pedagogic anthropology and the methods of modern education. An occasion offered in 1907 for putting her theories to practical test, when a school was established in connection with the tenants erected by the Roman Association for Good Building. The first house (Cora dei Bambini) was opened in January 1907, and was soon followed by three others. Dr. Montessori maintained her connection with these schools until 1911 when she devoted her time to the extension of her methods to older children. Both professional educators and laymen have taken a deep interest in her work, the principles of which she has set down in ‘Antropologia pedagogica’ (Eng. trans. by F. T. Cooper, ‘Pedagogic Anthropology,’ New York 1913) and ‘Il metodo della pedagogia scientifica applicato all'educazione infantile nelle case dei Bambini’ (Eng. trans. by A. E. George, ‘The Montessori Method,’ New York 1912).

Layout 2
​Smith, William Jardine, was born at Stockwell, near London, and went in 1852 to Melbourne, where he attached himself to commercial pursuits. Subsequently, he became a contributor to the Melbourne Punch and ultimately editor. He was also prominently connected with two short-lived and long defunct journals​—the Spectator and Touchstone. For some years preceding his death Mr. Smith was one of the principal political leader-writers of the Melbourne Argus. He died in Melbourne on Jan. 13th, 1884, aged forty-nine years.
# The Dictionary of Australasian Biography/Smythe, Robert Sparrow

Layout 2
​Smythe, Robert Sparrow, was born in London, and arrived in Melbourne in 1855. For seven years he was connected with the press in Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia, occupying himself as a musical and dramatic critic, editor of a squatting newspaper, and of the first illustrated journal published in Australia—the Illustrated Post, which ​developed into the Illustrated Australian News. Commencing his career as a theatrical manager in 1862, he claims to be the first manager who ever took an artistic company to Japan, to Simla in the Himalayas, and across the Orange River in South Africa. His first tour with "professionals," the longest on record, lasted from May 1863 to Oct. 1868; when he returned to England, where he lived for about a year, contributing occasionally to the Cornhill Magazine and the Pall Mall Gazette. In 1869 he returned to Australia with Daniel E. Bandmann, the tragedian. For the next three years he managed various musical and theatrical companies, until in 1872 he was appointed director of the concerts given at the exhibition held in Melbourne in connection with the Victorian International Exhibition. In 1873, the popular entrepreneur discovered Miss M. E. Christian, a gifted contralto, trained in the Royal Academy of Music, London, whose interests he never ceased to promote for eighteen years; he also organised the tour of Madame Arabella Goddard, the English pianiste. In the following year he introduced the Rev. Charles Clark, the former minister of Broadmead Chapel at Bristol, as a popular lecturer in Australia. Having travelled with Mr. Clark for more than five years in Australia, America, and Africa, Mr. Smythe saw that the lecture-platform was a popular institution at the Antipodes, and his ambition since 1879, when he again visited the old country, has been to "run" celebrities. Beginning with the lamented Richard Anthony Proctor, the astronomer, he has since directed the Australian tours of Archibald Forbes, the war-correspondent, George Augustus Sala, Charles Santley the eminent baritone, and other notabilities; while more recently the great explorer, H. M. Stanley, and Max O'Rell lectured through Australasia under his management. At Nagasiak in Japan, in 1863, Mr. Smythe married Miss Amelia Bailey, the accomplished soprano of the concert company with whom he was then travelling.

​Smith, James, the eminent Victorian journalist, was born near Maidstone, in the county of Kent, and took to literary pursuits before he was out of his teens. He contributed occasionally to the London Punch, which brought him into connection with Douglas Jerrold, with whom he was associated in the Illuminated Magazine, for which he wrote regularly. Mr. Smith was appointed at the age of twenty editor of the Herts County Press, and afterwards took the editorship of the Salisbury Journal, which he held from 1849 to 1854, and organised in that city the first provincial exhibition held in England. Mr. Smith went out to Australia at the end of 1854, and joined the staff of the Argus in 1856, as leader-writer, fine art and dramatic critic, and has been uninterruptedly connected with that journal ever since. In the first-named capacity he called public attention to the importance of forming reservoirs and introducing artificial irrigation, and also of preserving the mountain forests from destruction. He likewise advocated the institution of a National Gallery, and was one of the founders and the second editor of Melbourne Punch, also editor of the first evening paper, The Evening Mail, published in Melbourne. Mr. Smith was Librarian to the Parliament from 1863 to 1868, when the office was abolished, because his political opinions were regarded as hostile to those of the Government of the day. While there he re-modelled, catalogued, and classified the library. Mr. Smith has been a public lecturer for thirty-six years, and wrote a three-act drama, Garibaldi, successfully produced at the Prince of Wales's Theatre, Melbourne, in 1860, also a farce entitled A Broil at the Café, played at the Theatre Royal. Mr. Smith has published "Rural Records" (two editions), 1848; "Oracles from the British Poets," 1851; "Wilton and its Associations," 1851; "Lights and Shadows of Artist Life and Character," 1853; "From Melbourne to Melrose," 1888.

# The Dictionary of Australasian Biography/Smith, Right Rev. William Saumarez

known as "Saumarez Smith"
Layout 2
​Smith, Right Rev. William Saumarez, D.D., Bishop of Sydney and Primate of Australia, is the son of the Rev. William Snowden Smith, Prebendary of Chichester, and Mary Anne, his wife, daughter or J. Robin, of Jersey. He was born at St. Heliers in 1836, and married in 1870 Florence, daughter of Rev. Lewis Deedes, rector of Bramfield, who died in 1890, on the eve of her departure for New South Wales. He was educated at Marlborough College and at Trinity College, Cambridge, of which he was scholar and became Fellow in 1860. He graduated B.A. in 1858, taking a first class in classics and theology, M.A. in 1862, B.D. in 1871, and received the degree of D.D. in 1889. He was a most successful prizeman during his university career. The Bishop was ordained deacon in 1859, priest in 1860, and was chaplain to the Bishop of Madras from 1861 to 1865, curate of Holy Trinity, Cambridge, in 1866, vicar of Trumpington from 1867 to 1869, and was appointed examining chaplain to the Bishop of Norwich in the latter year and Honorary Canon of Chester in 1880. He was Principal of St. Aidan's College from 1869 to 1889, when he was elected to the see of Sydney . Difficulties, however, arose owing to the fact that he received a less number of votes than another candidate, who declined the appointment, whereupon Dr. Saumarez Smith was declared duly elected without a fresh election. Several of the principal Australian bishops protested that the nomination was invalid, the Archbishop of Canterbury declining to issue the necessary authority for his consecration. In the result he voluntarily withdrew his claim to the see, and was then duly elected and consecrated in 1890 as Metropolitan of the province and Primate of Australia. He is the author of a number of theological works, of which the principal are "Obstacles to Missionary Success" (Maitland prize essay for 1867) (1878); "Christian Faith" (five sermons preached before the university of Cambridge) (1869); "Lessons on the Book of Genesis" (1879).
