Excerpt from The Copy-Maker And now that I am on this point, I am re minded concerning my friend, Professor Klatzen berg, of whom mention will be found later, and of his experience with prefaces. Being a man of astonishing versatility, this eccentric genius once enjoyed the good fortune of having two literary works simultaneously published - the one suppos edly a most learned book, in two volumes, entitled, The History of Pantheism the other very cheap, and very yellow, called The Mem oirs of a Ballet Girl. Now, it so happened that by some curious mischance the Pantheism and Coryph???e prefaces becoming transposed, each appeared where the other should have been. But still more surpris ing was the result of this error, for (although Professor Klatzenberg denies the charge to this day) I have never yet found a reader of both books and both prefaces who has noticed the transposition. It may be that in each work treating of the ancients there is after all a marked resemblance between them; or, more probably the readers' non-cognizance is due to the professor's won drously figurative language. Be this as it may, the fact remains - the true function missed its mark. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
