For this service, at least, let me thank you. I have always thought prefaces very troublesome things to write. And are they not, in fact, pieces of falseness throughout? Standing first, though written last - expressing a humility which the author does not feel -and claiming the especial attention of every body, while it is a wonder if they are read by any body.
