DOW OVTyOTE.

There is no book, except, perhaps, the Bible,
so much and so little known. 1t is rarely
studied, and more rarely understood; It is a
stock subject for quotation; its errors are over
looked, its difficulties ignored. Written in a
popular style, and of legendary nature, the
work of Cervantes very early became, with the
Catechism and the olives Of the Saints, an
integrant part of the intellectual household
furniture of CASTLE. But as soon as it was
generally understood that it had become the
fashion even for the higher classes to praise
him, that ''glory and same of SPAIN scared
above the range of criticism, and esame
apotheosized by Don Jose Nor de Fuentes,
whose panegyrical preface in Baudry's edition,
1885, begins VirgiPs "Deusecce Deus" and
euds with calling Cervantes sci illustradordel
Image humane. lgnorase Ell paradero dc sus

One would have imagined a Driori that the
various versions published at various times
under the title Of tTanslatiOns (trGditOPi tra-
GstttOri } would have removed the divine halo
from the head of Cervantas as effeetually as
the birth of Christ is said to have discrowned
Pan, and sent with signing the parting Pagan
genius afighted from haunted spring and
dale, never to return. The fact that they have
not done so is fair proof of that blind Gre
dulity which, perhaps proyidentially, induces
those most TO lean on the opinion of others who
are least fitted to form an opinion for them
selves. The force of faith has sustained, not
withstanding all these successive shocks % in
depreciation, the primitive opinion as to the in
fallibility and divine excellence of the work,
and the present writer is well aware that he
states strange and heterodox opinion when
he ventures 10 declare, in, all humility. that to
understand ''Don QuiXote" a primary eondi-
ton is to understand the language in which
'DCn Quixote" is written.-TTe CoiqusH
