Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Hoosier in Honduras It was the writers intention to impose this work on the public without the formality of a preface. It seemed bad enough as it was, but certain critical friends declared it would never do, "You must offer some excuse," they insisted, "for writing a book at all, the people have not asked for it and it is no more than right they should have an explanation of the motive that prompted so reckless an undertaking." I, therefore, began looking over a lot of books, ancient and modern, hoping to find something to copy and save any further trouble, but when I saw that most writers devoted the space under this heading to giving credit to certain other writers whose works they had filched to produce their own, I said, "I'll never do it." The reader may pick out the stolen passages himself, and if his conscience is too sensitive to allow him to retain them - why, he can return them to their respective owners. I had enough trouble to steal them, and besides I can't remember now just where they belong, so if the dear reader can construe this into an apology, and feels any better satisfied thereby, the writer is very glad indeed, and feels more than paid for the exertion it has cost.
