Excerpt from The Lusiad: Or, the Discovery of India; An Epic Poem; Translated From the Portugese of Luis De Cam???ens; With a Life of the Poet IN undertaking, at the publishers' request, the function of editor of Mickle's Lusiad, I have compared the trans lation with the original, and, in some places, where another translation seemed preferable to, or more literal than, Mickle's, I have, in addition, given that rendering in a foot-note. Moreover, I have supplied the arguments to the several cantos, given a few more explanatory notes, and added a table of contents. The late ingenious translator of the Lusiad, says Lord has portrayed the character, and narrated the misfortunes of our poet, in a manner more honourable to his feelings as a man than to his accuracy in point of biographical detail. It is with difli dence that the present writer essays to correct his errors but, as the real circumstances of the life of Camoens are mostly to be found in his own minor compositions, with which Mr. Mickle was unacquainted, he trusts that certain information will atone for his presumption.
