Excerpt from The Life and Exploits of the Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote De La Mancha, Vol. 2 of 2: Translated From the Original Spanish of Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra; Now Carefully Revised and Corrected, to Which Is Prefixed a Life of the Author What I cannot forbear resenting, is, that he upbraids me with my age, and with having lost my hand, as if it were in my power to have hindered time from passing over my head, or as if my injury had been got in some drunken quarrel at a tavern, and not on the noblest occasion that past or present ages have seen, or future can ever hope to see 996. If my wounds do not reflect a lustre in the eyes of those who barely behold. Them, they will, however, be esteemed by those who know how I came by them; for a soldier makes a better figure dead in battle, than alive and at liberty in running away. I am so firmly of this opinion, that could an impossibility be rendered practicable, and the same opportunity he recalled, I would rather be again present in that prodigious action, than whole and sound without having shared the glory of it. The scars a soldier shows in his face and breast are stars which guide others to the haven of honour and the desire of just praise. - And it must be observed that men do not write with grey hairs, but with the understanding which is usually improved by years. I have also heard with anger that he taxes me with envy, and describes to me, as to one utterly ignorant, what envy is; and, in good truth, of the two kinds of envy, I am acquainted only with that which is sacred, noble and well meaning. This being so, as it really is, I am not inclined to reflect on any ecclesiastic, especially if he is besides dignified with the title of a familiar of the Inquisition 297. If he said what he did for the sake of that person for whom he seems to have said it, he is utterly mistaken, for I adore that gentleman's genius, and admire his works, and his constant and virtuous employments. But in fine, I own myself obliged to this worthy author for saying that my Novels are more satirical than moral, but, however, that they are good, which they could not be without some share of both. Methinks, reader, you tell me that I proceed with much circumspection, and confine myself within the limits of my own modesty, knowing that we should not add affliction to the afflicted; and this gentleman's must needs be very great.

Excerpt from The Life and Exploits of the Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote De La Mancha, Vol. 3: Translated From the Original Spanish of Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra Heaven S! With what impatience, gentle, or, it may be, simple reader, must thou be now waiting for this preface, expecting to find in it resentments, rail ings, and invectives without number, against the au thor of the second Don Quixote him, I mean, who, it is said, was begotten in Tordes1llas, and whelped in Tarragona! But, in truth, it is'not my design to give thee that satisfaction; for, though injuries are apt to awaken choler in the humblest breasts, yet in mine must this rule admit of an exception. Thou wouldst have me, perhaps, call him ass, coxcomb, madman! But no. Be his own sin his punishment; let him chew the cud of remorse, and there, for me, let the matter rest.

Excerpt from The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha, Vol. 2 But there is something which I cannot so easily pass over; he is pleased to upbraid me with my age; as if it had been in my power to stop the career of Time. Then he tells me of the loss of one of my hands, as if that maim had been got in a quarrel in some tavern, and not upon the most memorable occasion that either past or present ages have beheld, and which, perhaps, futurity will never parallel. If my wounds do not redound to my honour in the thoughts of some of those that look upon them, they will at least secure me the esteem of those that know how they were gotten. A soldier makes a nobler figure as he lies dead in battle, than safe in flight and I am so far from being ashamed of the loss of my hand, that were it possible to recall the same opportunity, I should think my wounds but a small price for sharing in that prodigious action. The scars in a soldier's face and breast are the stars that by a laudable imitation guide others to the port of honour and glory. Besides, it is not the grey hairs, but the understanding of a man, that may be said to write; and years are wont to improve the latter.

Excerpt from The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha, Vol. 2 of 2 I suspect thou wilt say that I am taking a very humble line, and keeping myself too much within the bounds of my modera tion, from a feeling that additional suffering should not be inflicted upon a sufferer, and that what this gentleman has to endure must doubtless be very great, as he does not dare to come out into the open field and broad daylight, but hides his name and disguises his country as if he had been guilty of some lese majesty. If perchance thou shouldst come to know him, tell him from me that I do not hold myself aggrieved; for I know well what the temptations of the devil are, and that one of the greatest is putting it into a man's head that he can write and print a book by which he will get as much fame as money, and as much money as fame; and to prove it I will beg of you, in your own sprightly, pleasant way, to tell him this story.

Excerpt from The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha, Vol. 1 of 4 IT was with considerable reluctance that I aban doued in favor of the present undertaking what had long been a favorite project, that Of a new edition of Shelton's Don Quixote, which has now become a somewhat scarce book. There are some - and I confess myself to be one - for whom Shelton's racy Old version, with all its defects, has a Charm that no modern translation, however skilful or correct, could possess. Shelton had the inestimable advantage of belonging to the same generation as Cervantes Don Quixote had to him a Vitality that only a contempo rary could feel it cost him no dramatic effort to see things as Cervantes saw them; there is no anach ronism in his language; he put the Spanish of Cer vantes into the English of Shakespeare. Shakespeare himself most likely knew the book; he may have carried it home with him in his saddle-bags to Strat ford on one of his last journeys, and under the mul berry tree at New Place joined hands with a kindred genius in its pages.
