Présentation de l'éditeur
Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Présentation de l'éditeur
The preface of a book is the easiest thing toT nite, and perhaps, of all literary essays it is the least read. I will leave that however, for the reader to answer, whether the mind approves itself or not in the mission it makes. The life of an author is no easy one though, however easily his prefaces may be written, and they who tread the literary path must nerve all their powers, physical as well as mental, to endure with fortitude the fickleness of the world; and not only this, but the rivalry of others who are striving for the same object. To bear with patience the sneers of those who are more sfuccessful, and the envy of those who are inferior. As soon as a book is published the author is known. He is no longer a private individual; he has entered the great arena of minds, where his own must retain its peculiar originality. It is in vain to conceal his name rom the world, for of all secrets, the secret of an author is the least safe.
