Excerpt from Why Did He Not Die?: Or the Child From the Ebraergang
The egotism 6f the translator prompts her to say a word in her own person upon offering to the public this rendering of a German novel. Her aim in these translations has been, and is, to provide entertainment - not too exciting in its nature - for warm summer afternoons, or brains weary with labour or care, re solving that her interest in the very mild amount of work which such translations require shall not be poi soned by the re ection that she has offered for perusal anything that can be considered pernicious to the youngest of her readers. Her past experience induces her to request that there may be no confounding of the translator with the author; where anything worthy the name of an Opinion, or a view of any kind, ultra or conservative, profound or otherwise, occurs in the light works she has selected for translation, she begs leave to remind the reader that it is the Opinion or view of Miss Marlitt, Madame von Hillern, or Ad. Vou Volck.
