“The editor should be especially commended for his broad and tolerant attitude towards all phases of the social problem and for his good judgment in collecting within the covers of one volume so many significant documents and statistical tables. The volume is indispensable to teachers, writers, lecturers, and every one else who has an intelligent interest in the facts and problems of the labor movement.” L: Levine

AMOS, FLORA ROSS. Early theories of translation. (Columbia university studies in English and comparative literature) *$2 Columbia univ. press 808

The history of the theory of translation, the author holds, is by no means a record of easily distinguishable, orderly progression. It shows a lack of continuity and is of a tentative quality. “Translation fills too large a place, is too closely connected with the whole course of literary development, to be disposed of easily. As each succeeding period has revealed new fashions in literature, new avenues of approach to the reader, there have been new translations and the theorist has had to reverse or revise the opinions bequeathed to him from a previous period. The theory of translation cannot be reduced to a rule of thumb; it must again and again be modified to include new facts.” (Preface) Contents: The medieval period; The translation of the Bible; The sixteenth century; From Cowley to Pope; Index.
