Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tom Brown at Oxford Prefaces written to explain the objects or meaning of a book, or to make any appeal, ad misericordiam or other, in its favour, are, in my opinion, nuisances. Any book worth reading will explain its own objects and meaning, and the more it is criticised and turned inside out, the better for it and its author. Of all books, too, it seems to me that novels require prefaces least - at any rate, on their first appearance. Notwithstanding which belief, I must ask readers for three minutes´ patience before they make trial of this book. The natural pleasure which I felt at the unlooked-for popularity of the first part of the present story, was much lessened by the pertinacity with which many persons, acquaintance as well as strangers, would insist (both in public and private) on identifying the hero and the author. On the appearance of the first few numbers of the present continuation in Macmillan´s Magazine, the same thing occurred, and in fact, reached such a pitch, as to lead me to make some changes in the story.
