Excerpt from The History and Antiquities of the Abbey and Cathedral Church of Bristol: Illustrated by a Series of Engravings of Views, Elevations, Plans, and Details of That Edifice, With Biographical Anecdotes of Eminent Persons Connected With the Establishment

A preface is at once an introduction to a book and the farewell of its author. After much care, labour, and anxiety, in preparing his work for publication, and after putting the last touches to it, as the painters say, for public inspection, he wishes to propitiate the critic by explaining certain points or opinions which he imagines that such a reader may not immediately descry. In proportion to his desire of pleasing will be his exertions to effect it. On various accounts the present volume requires a preface; and, with all the brevity possible, the Author will state his case, and take his leave.
