Book synopsis

Excerpt from The Political Writings of Jean Jacques Rousseau, Vol. 1 of 2: Edited From the Original Manuscripts and Authentic Editions, With Introductions and Notes These emendations are of two kinds. They are made either because the editor did not understand the author's meaning, or because he conceived that he could improve upon the author's French. In the former case, it may be that he could not help himself; and the only alternative was to surrender the task to some other man more fortunately placed. But it may be suggested that to put in, or leave out, negatives - the course frequently adopted - is a method which, however convenient, is hardly likely to be sound.
