Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Across the Atlantic Among the many advantages attending upon Prefaces to light works, I believe that, first and foremost, stands the fact that no one, by any chance, ever reads them. The wearied and worried author strings together a few sentences about the Public being really too benevolent, his health being really very bad, other avocations having prevented him from devoting such attention to the subject as he could have wished (all satisfactorily proving, in limine, that the book ought never to have been written at all), and, prefixing to the aforesaid sentences the title of "Preface," or "Address to the Reader," hurries them into a part of the volume, where they have the double merit of not being exposed to criticism and of filling up a great deal of space.
