Book Description
Excerpt from The Adventures of Telemachus, the Son of Ulysses My principal view, however, was much more extenlive than to af. Fl! Learners of the French language. I have attempted to render a work, full of ingenious fiction, jult reafoning, important precepts, and poetical imagery, as pleafing in Englilh as it is in French, to thofe who read it as their native tongue: if I have fucceeded, l have not only made a valuable addition to our polite literature, but reu dered my country a much more important fervice, by putting into the hands of our youth one of the few books which genius and learning have dedicated to virtue; which at once captivate the ima gination, inform the underllanding, and regulate the will.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Adventures of Telemachus, the Son of Ulysses: From the French As the author of Telemachus has avoided the intrigues of modern romances, so hu he not fallen into the marvellous with which the ancients have been reproached; he never makes horses speak, nor tripods walk, nor statues work. His hero is continually conducted by Minerva, which makes every. Thing possible, and at the same time intimates, that man can do nothing without the assistance of divine wisdom. Nor is this all i the sublime consists in the concealing (unknown to Telema. Chus) the goddess under a human form, which renders it more probable and natural, and at the same time equally marvellous.
