Excerpt from From Waterloo to the Peninsula, Vol. 1 of 2: Four Months Hard Labor in Belgium, Holland, Germany, and Spain
His apparel must be mean, his back bent, his head cast down, his knees hinged, his hands submissively folded before him. Then, with bated breath - if he wishes to go to a second edition - he must say that he is very sorry for what he has done; he must promise amend ment for the next time; if he have any friends, he must' style them too partial if he have any enemies, he must strive to conciliate them by adroit flattery if he have a patron, or hope to have one, he must tell him, without sticking at the clumsiness of the compli ment, that he is good, and great, and beautiful; that he is an ornament to his sex, and a descendant of the Kings of Latium. There is no other way. I speak from experience. I have written twenty prefaces to books of mine own, and many more to books by other people. I have tried the preface argumentative, the preface self-asserting, the preface historical and critical, the preface circumlocutory, the preface sardonic, the preface contemptuous, and the preface indignant. Saddened, and I hope made wise, by many rebuffs, I have come to the conclusion that to achieve prefatory success the exemplar followed must not be Johnson, or Addison, or Steele - not Victor Hugo.
