First Session, Wednesday Afternoon, April 30th
| No. 209—Continued | .
THE FIRST ENGLISH TRANSLATION. AND THE FIRST TRANSLATION IN ANY
LANGUAGE. Part II, according to a letter tu the Atheneum (July 5,
1873) by Mr. Rawdon Brown, has traces both of “As you like it,” and
“Macbeth.”
No printed title was issued to the first volume, but only to the
second. Both the engraved frontispieces are bright perfect impressions.
Shelton’s translation of Don Quixote has become an English classic
for the vigor of its English, and is on this account the translation
selected by many of the modern book clubs for republication, as a
worthy companion to Florio and the Elizabethan translators and adap-
ters. The lost play “Cardenio” (ascribed to Fletcher) was evidently
founded on this translation by Shelton.
Duffield, in the preface to his own translation, shows that Shelton
based his work on the Brussels edition of 1607. He also shows by pa-
rallel passages how infinitely Shelton is preferable to the other trans-
lators of the Seventeenth and Highteenth Centuries, such as Phillips,
Motteux, Jarvis, and Smollett, all of whom defile the work with coarse.
ness and buffoonery not found in the original. Jarvis, in the preface to
his translation, accuses Shelton of having translated not from. the
original, but from the Italian version of Francoisini. That this accu-
sation was unjust is evident from the fact that Francoisini’s version
did not appear till nine years after Shelton’s had been published.
From the Robert Hoe collection, with bookplate in each volume.
