Excerpt from The Bravo of Venice: A Romance I must confess, that in making this translation I have taken some liberties with the original. Every thing that re lates to Monaldeschi (a personage who does not exist in the German Romance) and the whole of the concluding ch'apter (with the exception of a few sentences) have been added by myself. Where the expressions appeared to be either charac teristic of the author's style, or of the character by whom they were supposed to be used, 1 did not think myself at liber ty to alter them; I have therefore sufl'er ed Parozzi's speech in the third book, about 'the devil's grandmother, ' as well as several others, to remain, though I re quest not to be supposed to have retained them in compliment to my own taste.
