The first and main aim of the translator has been to give the exact senseof the original, and he has endeavored
...also to reproduce as far as possiblethe spirit and tone of Champlain's narrative. The important requisite in atranslation, that it should be pure and idiomatic English, without anytransfer of the mode of expression peculiar to the foreign language, hasnot, it is hoped, been violated, at least to any great extent. If, perchance, a French term or usage has been transferred to the translation, it is because it has seemed that the sense or spirit would be betterconveyed in this way. At best, a translation comes short of the original, and it is perhaps pardonable at times to admit a foreign term, if by thismeans the sense or style seems to be better preserved.
