Synopsis
Excerpt from The Theory and Practice of Creole, Vol. 1
As it was at first my intention to dispense with a preface, I inserted here and there, in the body of this Work, such brief expo-si tions of its plan as I thought desirable. Having so done, I che fished the expectation of avoiding the ordeal of self-obtrusion, which an author must pass through in a formal prologue to the public. But my hope Of escape was delusive; for the diver siry and extravagance of purpose which rumour imputed to me, in connexion with this undertaking, soon made it obvious that I must, in fairness to myself, explain the motives which induced me to attempt a work of the kind.
