Excerpt from Wise Men From the East and From the West

Following the current custom, I wish to devote this opening chapter to the consideration of a question which I feel my comparative study of the East and of the West in this volume is likely to raise.

The question seems to me to be a natural, although not always a pertinent, one. The case is not altogether hypothetical. And while the atti tude which this question reveals is that of a oer tain class, yet the interrogation exists potentially in the general consciousness of a people whose life is critically studied by a writer of alien birth.

Wise Men from theE ast and from theW est INTRODUCTORY CHAPTER A NATURAL QUESTION BOOKS are fated to be introduced. Why this is so, fellowcraftsmen and many of the reading public know. The custom is old; but, like many other things, the introduction has undergone some changes with the passing of time. In earlier days, as a general rule, the introduction constituted a summary of the book. In those good old days the author deemed it necessary to state in the introduction, in swaying Miltonic phraseology, what he was going to say in the body of the book, and then proceed to say it in the following chapters. In some cases the introduction rendered the book quite dispensable. ,I nmore recent times the character of the introduction has generally been changed. It is now used to present subject-matter which is a little more than kith and a little less than kin to that which the book is intended to contain: such matter as the general subject of the book calls for, but which is not vital enough to form an organic part of the book itself.
