Excerpt from Studies of a Booklover

As a form of literary art the elaborate preface is rapidly becoming extinct. And in the case of so unpretentious a book as this little collection of essays there can be neither need nor wish of its momentary revival. For these studies are merely fragmentary records of a booklover's journeyings through the pleasantest of lands - the land of books. They have no theories of literature to expound, no philosophy of life to express. There is not, so far at least as I can see, any one central or dominating idea upon which as a connecting thread these detached essays are strung. They are simply random impressions of travel, and nothing more.
