To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Linton has few equals. His rennderings in the original metres of old and modern French poems are always faithful and spirited. Beranger's " Voyage au Pays de Cocagne, " a poem that might be thought to defy translation, is rendered most dexterously ; and in venturing to grapple with Victor Hugo's " Le Chasseur Noir " he has been far more successful than could have been anticipated. To Charles d' Orleans he has done full justice ; nor have Clement Marot and Ronsard any cause to complain. But the ...translations from Beranger (particularly the rendering of " Rosette ") are, perhaps, the most attractive. In the summer of i8go, Mr Linton issued the magnum opus on which he has been so long engaged, "The Masters of Wood-Engraving, " folio, the sole authoritative treatise on that art. He spent 1883 and part of 1884 in London, writing in the Print Room of the British Museum. The Trustees allowed him to take photographs of choice engravings ; and he had some two hundred photographs taken, of the same size as the originals.
