Excerpt from The History of Don Quixote of the Mancha, Vol. 3: Translated From the Spanish Pamplona - in the library of a Hague collector. If the bruit be true, Cervantes approves his exactitude. Yet with all his self-glory he returned not hastily to his theme. Though in shew a Father, yet in truth but a step-father to Don Quixote': thus he proclaims himself when the piece opens, and so in effect he remains till the drop falls. 'forse altro cantera con miglior plettro - in such phrase, borrowed from Orlando, does he challenge rivalry, and, by his dalliance, he tempts fate. He was enamoured of other emprises, Don Quixote was to be the stepping-stone to success in every kind: the pastoral, the short story, scene individable or poem unlimited.' The Prince of Courtesy and the Flower of Esquires must wait. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
