Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mr. Frank: The Underground Mail-Agent Kind Reader, we must confess that we are so stupid, as not to know how to write a Preface; and, in fact, we do not even know why any Preface should be written at all! We have looked very carefully over all the books in our library, from Cobb´s Primer up to Bulwer´s last novel, for a model, and we are sorry to say, that we have not been able to find one to suit us; and we do not pretend to a tithe of the fastidiousness of our readers - especially in regard to our own productions. We have found in our researches alluded to, that many authors look upon a Preface as a space devoted to a little teté-à-tete with their readers; in which they apologize to them for punishing their good nature with another book. Others consider it as a kind of platform on which to define their position, and to explain their motives for writing at all - a matter which is not unfrequently very difficult of comprehension. This species of information, however, we look upon as entirely gratuitous; because, if the motives of the author are good, they should appear in the body of his work, and if they are not, why - the least that is said, the better.
