Note 92 — Chapter XCVIII
P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) Renouf translation
I take this opportunity of correcting my former translation, where the preposition , which twice occurs in the passage, is both times rendered by the same word, from. But the sense of a preposition really depends upon the verb which it follows. The same English word will not suit the French de in ‘s’approcher de’ and ‘s’éloigner de.’
