Excerpt from Evansville, Her Commerce and Manufactures: A Descriptive Work of the Business Metropolis of Indiana Ustom has made it quite necessary that every book that is sent out among the people, should have a Prefatory page which may serve to in to favor and consideration, just as the rhymes do one another in the memorable House that Jack Built. But, for the life of me, I never could understand why a Preface need always be an apology. If a man has written a book, and fairly put his heart and soul into what he has done, it is not so easy for him to tell what there is for him to be ashamed of. A Preface should not be a sniveling whine. It may be made a vehicle for either this, that or the other sort of deliberate opinion respecting the book, bespeaking for it nothing more than fair play in its turn; or it may be the avant courier - the clear-the way guard to the main army of facts just ready to come up - but whatever na ture it partakes of, there is no use in sorely grieving over its imperfections at so late an hour, and just as the battle for popularity is on the eve of being waged. Therefore, for my own part, while I have no such design as that of boosting my own literary wares through the world, neither will I consent to beg a generally well-disposed and liberal-minded Public to wink at what they honestly want to condemn. It has been said that when a man sets doggedly in his study, and says to himself, I mean to write a good book, it is certain from the necessity of the case, that the result will be quite the contrary. If the result Of my labors are Of that stripe, it cannot be from this cause. I think I may claim a better stand ard, for no one except those who have been occupied in similar researches can have any just conception Of the amount of harassmg labor required to accom plish a fair work, where but precious little is left to the imagination, and every sentence contains a fact of greater or less importance. As a pioneer work, then, I have encountered in its preparation, even more of the difficulties than are ordinarily incident to pioneer enterprises. It is presented to the public with the belief that it is as nearly accurate as such works can be. In a city, like ours, where improvement and change are the order and the watch-words, it would be strange, indeed, if we did not find here and there an error. While houses are removed with almost equal facility as the people who occupy them, unavoidable mistakes and omissions will occur. If, however, my pen shall have recorded one fact of interest to the future historian of the city; if I shall succeed in directing the attention of trade to its manifold superiorities; or draw to this vicinage a population that shall seize upon its possibilities and go for ward to glad fruition - controlling its agencies and shaping its destinies; if I6 evansville: her commerce and manufactures.
