Excerpt from The Fourth Volume of Letters: Writ by a Turkish Spy, Who Liv'd Five and Forty Years Undiscover'd at Paris; Giving Impartial Account to the Divan at Constantinople of the Most Remarkable Transactions of Europe; And Discovering Several Intrigues and Secrets of the Christian Courts (Espe But, if this shall seem an invidious Reflection, substituted in the Room of a passable Excuse; the English Translator, in Honour both of the Foreign Copies, and his own Native Language (for he is a true Englishman both by Blood and Affection) is willing to take the Blame of all Defects on himself. Assuring you, That whatsoever Roughness, or Want of Elegance; whatsoever Carelesness of Expression is to be found in the English Translation, tho' it may be a Fault indeed, yet 'tis purely owing to the Candor of him who has committed it: Since the chief Reason of such Neglect is, because he was loth the Reader should lose the Original Sense, for the Sake of a sweet Period, or a delicate Cadence. If in other Places he seems affected, as in retaining the Turkish and Arabick Words, where they might as well have been render'd English; this also was out of Respect to his Copy, where those Words are left as, we may suppose, they were found in the Original Arabick. This is address'd to such Gentlemen as have procured the Italian Copies of these Letters. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
