THE HISTORY OF JESUS OF NAZARA, FREELY INVESTIGATED IN ITS CONNECTION WITH THE NATIONAL LIFE OF ISRAEL, WILLIAMS AND NORGATE, 14, HENRIETTA STREET, COVENT GARDEN, LONDON; 60236 OCT 16 1901 CGQ •K26 ما TRANSLATOR'S NOTE. I DEEPLY regret the unavoidable delay that has occurred in completing this translation; but that delay is largely due to the copiousness of the notes and to the general difficulties of the author's style. As I stated in a former note, I have aimed simply at reproducing in readable English every shade of the author's meaning. To have attempted elegance of style would often have necessitated either lengthy paraphrase or the omission many of the minor clauses in the German sentences. If the work only too frequently reads like a translation, the meaning is, I believe, generally clear. I cannot venture to hope that I have not in any case misunderstood the author; but if I have anywhere failed to render his meaning correctly, it has not been for want of care. of In the fifth volume I asked readers to send me notice of any errors they might detect. Two gentlemen have kindly responded to my appeal; and the few corrections that have been found necessary are given after the Index. In transferring the notes to this English edition, I have used for reference English translations of the works that have appeared in the same series, so far as those translations were accessible at |
