Excerpt from Echoes of the Past, Present, and Future: With Other Poems As a head without a heart may be compared to a soul without a body, so a book without a preface may allegorically be said to resemble a ship without a pilot what a pilot is to a ship, a preface is to a book 3 and as the former often saves the ship from foundering, so the latter frequently preserves the book from slumbering in neglect on the shelf.
