Inhaltsangabe
Excerpt from Linen<br/><br/>AN author's Introduction to a modern work savours very much of being a futile anachronism. At the outset, it must seem imposing mercilessly upon the good nature of his reader when the author, after spending his thoughts and energies over several hundred pages, considers it necessary to emphasise his personality in an explanation for having done so. It suggests a paradox too, when, as in the present case, the Introduction is written subsequently, instead Of previously, to the work proper.
