A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Sy railings and inveffives againft the author oftbefecond Don Quixotc him I mean, whp it isaid was begotten in Tordefi Ua, and bom in Tarragona! But in truths it is not my defign to give you that fatisfa Stion for though injuries are apt to awaken cboler in the humbleft breafts yet in mine this rule muft admit of an exception. Tou would have me Jperhaps call him afsy madman and coxcomb: but I havie no fuch defign. Let his own fin be hitpunifhment; let him chew upon it and there let it refi. But what I cannot forbear refenting, is that he upbraids me with my ageand with having lifft my hand as if it were in my power to have hindered time from faffing over my hea Sor as if my maim had been got in fome drunken quarrel at a tavernj find not on the nobleji occafion that paft orprefent ages have feen or future can ever hope to fee. If my wounds do not refle Sla luftre in the eyes of thofe who barely behold them they will however be efteemed by tbofe who know how I ame by them; for a foldier makes a better figure dead in battle-- than alive and at liberty in running away: and lamfo firmly of this opinion thaty could an impojftbility be rendered pra Sicabky and the fame opportunity recalled I would rather be again prefent in that prodigious a lion than .whole and found without fharing in the glory of it. The fears a foldier fhewsinis face and breafty qre fiars which guide others to the heaven of honoury and to the In the famoui fea-iight of LepaptQ.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
