Excerpt from Stage-Struck, or She Would Be an Opera-Singer

IT is easier, I believe, to write a book than a preface. And why? Because one can write a book without giving a reason for doing it; whereas, in writing a preface, one is supposed to suggest a reason for writ ing the book. From the criticisms of one's friends, it would seem that they consider a book should be writ ten solely to please them.

I love my friends, but I love Art better; and of all art, I love the art of music best. It is with the hope of strengthening this art - especially in relation to my own country - that I submit stage-struck for pub lic judgment.
