Author Description

Excerpt from A Schoolmaster's Apology The object of a Preface must be similar, but I have no sacrifice to bring, and must content myself with the confession, needless perhaps in View of what follows, that I have only myself to blame for this book. Various friends will recog nise traces of their handiwork: they know that my gratitude is theirs already, and that my apologies are to be had for the asking.
