Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Diversions of a Book-Lover A book must have an index, a title-page, and a preface. Such is the unwritten law, but no one pays much attention to a preface unless it is short. Barry Cornwall said: "Always read the preface to a book. It places you on vantage-ground and enables you to survey more completely the book itself. You frequently also discern the character of the author from the preface." More than a century ago the ingenious Mr. John Home Tooke published the first volume of The Diversions of Purley, but he made his philology subordinate to his peculiar philosophy. "Diversions," I understand, are those things which turn or draw the mind from care, business, or study, and thus rest and amuse. In these discursive papers I have aimed to keep within the definition.
