Excerpt from The Preface to the Fables These qualities, so admirably described by Dr Johnson, shine with undiminished lustre in the preface to the Fables. Though he had come within twenty years of the old gentleman who desired the ladies to count fourscore and eight before they judged him for mounting his horse somewhat heavily, his judgment was not impaired, nor the natural force of his mind abated. Ln memorable words he declares that thoughts, such as they are, come crowding in so fast upon me, that my only difficulty is to choose or to reject; to run them into verse, or to give them the other harmony of prose. His critical faculty is as keen, his taste as judicious, as when he wrote the Essay on Dramatic Poesy. He still wins the reader by his engaging frankness and unaffected modesty. His style has 'lost none of its ease, lucidity, and vigour, suffused with genial humour, and lighted up by occasional flashes of vivid satire.

Excerpt from Tom McNeal's Fables This is the reason why the preface to a book is often the best part of the publication. I have concluded to vary the usual program just a little. I offer this book without any excuse for its being. If the public doesn't like the book, the public doesn't have to buy it. I will say, how ever, for the benefit of the publisher, who is taking most of the risk, that I hope the public will not refuse to buy. Such a conclusion on the part of the public would be simply mortifying to the au thor, but it would be tough on the publisher.

Excerpt from Krilof and His Fables Before bringing this preface to a close, I wish to acknow ledge my obligations to the several writers from whom I have borrowed. For some reason which I cannot clearly explain, English translators from the Russian have shown a singular unwillingness to refer to the predecessors who have made their task comparatively easy. It has been a common practice to make c0pious, if not exclusive, use of a French or German translation of a Russian work, and then utterly to ignore the obligation. This course of behaviour appears to me injudicious, being apt to expose those who follow it to un pleasant comments. I think that, in translating from so unfamiliar a language as the Russian, one should -by all means make use of such assistance as preceding translators have to offer; but let that assistance be frankly acknowledged.
