Excerpt from Lectures on the Nature and Use of Money: Delivered Before the Members of the "Edinburgh Philosophical Institution" During the Months of February and March, 1848 But why any Preface at all - Custom! Yes truly, that is the reply: a book without a Preface would not be according to rule, and, therefore, no proper book. Oh Custom tyrant thou art, and thy slaves! How many? Tell me the number of full grown men and women on this little earth, and I will tell thee the number of thy slaves. All, all! Exception there is not a solitary one. But the title-sheet of sixteen pages must be ocen pied in some way! Well, then, in the first place, there is the blank leaf at the beginning, counting pages two; then the half-title, consisting of the one word Money, with the imprint at the back Of it, four; next the full title-page, with nothing behind it - a very common occurrence in this book-making world, to be followed by a two page advertise ment, apology, or petition of some kind, eight; then the Contents, immediately preceding Lecture the first, will take two pages more, ten; so that the Pre face must positively extend to no less than six pages But how will it be possible to fill them! Write thou the Preface for the author, oh Custom for he hath already said all that he desireth to say within the book itself, and careth not just. Now to add another sentence.
