Excerpt from Phineas Quiddy, Vol. 1 of 3: Or Sheer Industry
I had originally intended to write a formal preface to these volumes; but, upon reconsideration, I have thought it unnecessary. This after-thought spares some trouble to myself, and some, also, to the reader. The book, as it stands, must speak for itself; for since, probably, people of a suspicious turn of mind would conceive that I am personally interested in its welfare, my good word for it might be received with a small degree of caution.
