Excerpt from Fishing and Fishers My good friend, the author of this book, asked me to write an Introduction for it. Why should I? Why should I not? These questions he answered so satisfactorily, to himself if not to me, that I most heartily consented, but on the understanding that the few words I wrote should not be required to be praise or blame, approval or disapproval, agreement or disagreement, nor were they to be regarded as a sort of certificate of the author's high morals, physical health, mental superiority, or worldly solvency. The chapters of a book should, and of course always do, speak for themselves, and in these days your readers will, exceeding soon, form opinions on their own account. Under these circumstances to set out on the path of eulogy of the author, to dilate upon the length of our friendship and its depth, would be an impertinence.
