Excerpt from Specimens From the Dutch Poets: With Original PoemsIt is not an easy matter, for a young beginner, to write a preface to his first attempt to catch the ear of the Public. He falls, too often, into one or other of two extremes - self-confidence, or a very self-denying submission to the 'recommendation', the 'urgent wishes', the 'oft-repeated desire', of friends and admirers.Far from wishing to lapse into the first extreme, the writer and translator of the following verses, does not desire to thrust himself before the Public, under shield of the laudatory criticism of the often too lenient circle of hearers, and readers of manuscript productions.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
