An English Version of Frédéric Mistral's Mirèio: From the Original Provencal Under the Author's Sanction

Excerpt from An English Version (the Original Crowned by the French Academy) Of Frederic Mistral's Mireio: From the Original Provencal Under the Author's Sanction
The original of this work was published by the author, Mr. Frederic Mistral, in September 1859, and his fourth edition appeared within three years after. He has since been engaged on another, entitled Calendau, which came out in January last, and has been reviewed by the Paris press with perhaps equal praise, though certainly not the enthusiasm with which Mireio was greeted. The Revue des deux mondes of the 1st April of this year with reference to Mireio says:
Our readers will not have forgotten the sensation excited by W. Frederic Mistral's Mireio some eight years ago. It was greeted with tumultuous applause. It was primitive poesy!
