Synopsis

Excerpt from Greater Roumania

In Roumanian proper names, I have in general followed their convention, by which, on visiting cards printed for Western Europe, Carol Bratianu becomes Charles Bratiano, and Tache Ionescu, Take Jonesco. I would urge every reader first to study the pronunciation of the language, explained on p. 344; it is almost as melodious as the Italian it so closely resembles. An agreeable surprise of my lecture tour devoted to Roumania was the delight shown over the Roumanian poems which I quoted; and this has emboldened me to print several of them in this book, with only a literal translation.
