Description
Excerpt from The Adventures of Telemachus, the Son of Ulysses
My principal view, however, was much more extenlive than to af. Fl! Learners of the French language. I have attempted to render a work, full of ingenious fiction, jult reafoning, important precepts, and poetical imagery, as pleafing in Englilh as it is in French, to thofe who read it as their native tongue: if I have fucceeded, l have not only made a valuable addition to our polite literature, but reu dered my country a much more important fervice, by putting into the hands of our youth one of the few books which genius and learning have dedicated to virtue; which at once captivate the ima gination, inform the underllanding, and regulate the will.
