Excerpt from Light on Our Lessons, or What Is the a Missionary Book for Boys and Girls

I am not the Author of this book but my friend who wrote {it asks me to write a Preface. What is a Preface You find a Preface in most books, though not in all. It is a short chapter which comes before the first chapter! Boys know that sometimes in a game of cricket a trial ball is bowled before the first ball and girls know that sometimes a lady who sits down to play the piano, strikes a chord or two before she begins the piece. A Preface is something like that, but not quite. It is generally meant to explain to the readers why the Author has written the book: that is, first, what led him to write it, and secondly, what his Object or purpose was in writing it. But sometimes the Preface is written by a person who is not the Author, and then it is generally meant to tell people why they ought to read the book. Well, that is what I want to do now.

Yes; but do boys and girls ever read Prefaces? I am sure I didn't when I was a boy. I was always in such a hurry to begin the books themselves, that I used to skip the Prefaces, which generally looked very dry! Well, if you read this book without reading the Preface, I shall be quite satisfied. I don't care a bit about your reading the Preface, but I want you to read the book.
