1904. The translator, Mr. Jacobs, has endeavored to produce
Gracian's Laconism and "Cultismo" in his own version, and even
tried to retain Gracian's many paronomasias and jingles of similar
sound. Jacobs may have here and there introduced others of his own
to redress the balance for cases where he found it impossible to
produce the same effect in English. In such cases, Jacobs generally
gives the original in the Notes. Wherever possible he replaced
Spanish proverbs and proverbial phrases by English ones, and
throughout tried to preserve the characteristic rhythm and brevity
of the proverb.
