Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fox Texts, Vol. 1 The plan of the translation was to follow the order of ideas expressed in the original as far as the idiom would permit, consequently the text can to a great extent be followed word for word and sentence for sentence in the translation. The sentences and paragraphing correspond in both text and translation, likewise the punctuation with period, colon, and semicolon, but not always with comma and exclamation-point. It is not an easy thing to convey the sense of Algon kin by means of an absolutely literal rendering. Yet the translation here offered is in a way fairly close; in some instances it may be too free, while in as many others it may be so close as to obscure the full sense of the origi nal. But nevertheless, whatever may be its imperfections, the translation is my own, and I alone am responsible.
