Excerpt from Han d'Islande, Vol. 1
Il les préviendra d'abord que ce mot, seconde édition, est ici assez impropre, et que le titre de première édition est réellement celui qui convient à cette réimpression, at tendu que les quatre liasses inégales de papier grisâtre ma culé de noir et de blanc, dans lesquelles le public indul gent a bien voulu voir jusqu'ici les quatre volumes de Han d'islande, avaient été tellement déshonorées d'incongrm tés typographiques par un imprimeur barbare, que le dé plurable auteur, en parcourant sa méconnaissable produc tion, était incoesamment livré au supplice d'un père auquel on rendrait son enfant mutilé et tatoué par la main d'un Iroquois du lac Ontario.
