TO make English present lenses out oil what is past
in French: !" Mrabeau has often regretted " I'm
stead OF merely I" Mirabeau often regretted " the
debaucheries of imagination and of temperament
which defowered his youth. He has noby repair
ed them" (which is, in our tongue, speaking as one
only speaks of person yet ving) "by avowing
them, even in the tribune"
We need add little but case or two in illustra-
ton of the boast of an English diction." OF Mr..
De Serre he says that he always began like one
embarrassed by the load of his ideas /" he piled,
he pslpitated beneath their weight" says the trans
lation. The French words mean, he bent, he
painted beneath their weight !" but as they happen
to be lker to "ply" and .palpitate" than any
others, or so stood in the pocket dictionary, we
have this delicious version. In other places occur
such new mntages of speech as "veriude Of prin-
cpes for "Justness of principles = ITO IMPROVE

reduce to form " with others little authorized by
even those philologers who, to make us improved
dictionaries, drag together every useless term that
they can find in the worst authors. One parting
question: and take leave Of this translator for the
