Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Copy-Maker It would be a task of no great difficulty to write here an essay on the true function of the preface. And this might have some savor of originality, for not in all the rhetoric books of my boyhood, nor the lectures of our worthy masters at college, was there a single exhaustive exposition on this subject. Yet, I gravely doubt that even after the ablest possible conclusion to the treatise just threatened (though not for a moment seriously considered) there would still remain the unanswerable question, Why in the world should a book of this sort have a preface anyway? Why try to find some raison d´être for "The Copy-maker," in a few introductory paragraphs (of necessity more than half apologetic), when each page newly turned shows indisputably that there is none? And now that I am on this point, I am reminded concerning my friend, Professor Klatzenberg, of whom mention will be found later, and of his experience with prefaces.
