I Fortalen udtaler den anonyme Oversætter, at han har strøget Brev-
formen og ladet Holberg henvende sig direkte til Læseren: »This is
the only liberty, the translator has taken with the text, with the ex-
ception of the suppression of a few coarse pleasantries by which the
fastidiousness of some readers might have been ofTended, and also of
a considerable mass of quotations, for which, like the pedantic bdt
pleasant author of the Anatomy of Melancholy, Holberg seems to have
had an overweening affection«. Oversættelsen er foretaget efter Opus-
cula; de latinske Verscitater er ikke oversat; Stykkerne om den pole-
miske og systematiske Teologi og om de Europæiske Nationer er med-
taget uden særlig Overskrift; derimod findes S. 258— 62; Specimen of a
