Excerpt from The Knockers Club If you haven't much to do, and don't care whether you do or don't, you may have noticed the conspicuous absence of a preface. What's the use of it? If there's anything in this book, - anything worth reading or skipping, - you'll find it, or pass it, without an introduction. I don't propose to show my full hand by starting in to describe my goods before you see them. Nor shall I begin with an apologetic foreword. That sort of thing has come conventionally chronic. Why not for once have a book without a shamefelt preface to it? Queer, isn't it, that so many folks knock the "know" out of what they know by discounting what they have to say before they say it? Take them as they run. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
