Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Initials: A Novel
I think these quotations authorise me to call the following pages the initials. According to Dr. Johnson, they would be intended to be placed at the beginning would be incipient; not complete. It is the public who have now to decide whether what has been placed at the beginning is to have a continuation, whether what is incipient, and not complete, is to be formed and completed.
