Excerpt from Kings of the Hunting-Field: Memoirs and Anecdotes of Distinguished Masters of Hounds and Other Celebrities of the Chase, With Histories of Famous Packs, and Hunting Traditions of Great Houses The elder disraeli, writing of 'prefaces' in his Curiosities of Literature, remarks: 'a Preface being the entrance to a book, should invite by its beauty. An elegant porch announces the splendour of the interior A good preface is as essential to put the reader into good humour as a good prologue is to a play, or a fine symphony to an opera, containing something analagous to the work itself.'
