Excerpt from Inquiries Concerning the Tactics of the Future
In the following Translation I have desired to place before English readers as accurately as possible a remarkable German Book. The two languages differ, however, so far that some modifications, in the form of sentences, in punctuation, and in phraseology, have been made. Such slight paraphrasing as I here and there employ has been limited not only by the general principle that all translations should be close, but also by the special character of this book - partly historical, partly argumentative or even speculative, and largely technical. In the German text considerable use is made of spaced-out type for emphasis; this method, or the correlative use of italics, I have not adopted. Investigation of questions raised in the treatise may be assisted by the citations in the text and in the Author"s footnotes. The volume now offered, being a simple translation, reproduces these, but makes no claim to collating, weighing, or deciding. In a few cases, however, a footnote of my own has been added, enclosed in square brackets [], and marked Translator.
The rule stated by the classic Peter Beckford may be, in part, extended to translations. They should be "as little clogged as possible," and be "easily understood; having less to do with words than things." I must ask the reader"s pardon for some shortcomings in the present instance.
