Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Corrected Proofs It is a trite saying that the Preface is a book-wright´s horror - but its very triteness is proof of its truth - and that truth is excuse for its iteration here. In the body of the work, the Author addresses the world generally - the Preface is particularly inscribed to the reader; - writing it is like going through a set form, in accordance with rules of etiquette - or through a difficult concerted piece, where, to be excellent, is only to be tolerable. Any thing below that is a lamentable failure; any thing above it is seldom attained. People look to the Preface for an expose of the views of the Author in publishing - but it is not one in a hundred cases that they find it there. Self-esteem gene rally prompts the perpetration of a book, and the very organ of the mind which induces the act, leads also to a concealment of the motive. But the world all see it - particularly where, as in this case, there is no apparent moral end to be gained - no establishment of a new theory, or refutation of an old one.
