Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pursuit of Diarmuid and Grainne, Vol. 1 The translation, which accompanied the first edition, is still preserved, not that it was considered literal enough, or one that, in places, was above friendly criticism, but from its general faithfulness, the simplicity and elegance of its style, and because of the interest that always attends a tale well told. The student will also hear in mind that one of the objects sought to be attained, in having a free translation with the text, is to induce him to make, with the aid of the Vocabulary, his own rendering first, and by comparison afterwards be enabled to judge, how far he has succeeded in grasp ing the meaning intended to be conveyed. A portion of the translation, which had been unintentionally allowed to remain after the text had been expunged, is now also left out and a few other obvious errors corrected.
