Opis: The Warstock - Gerrare Wirt

Excerpt from The Warstock: A Tale of to-Morrow

It is no longer the custom of writers of fiction to preface their books with an introduction. Where exceptions to this rule are made, more often than not the prefatory note consists merely of an apology for the story itself - therefore, is useless. In the present instance the writer is of opinion that the subject matter of his story is of that nature which renders some explanation desirable.

In the first place, The Warstock does not pretend to be Literature; it makes no appeal to the emotions, nor is it intended simply to amuse. Its purpose is to set intelligent people thinking; those persons who wish to deny their brains the exercise of this elementary function should read no further. The author wants neither their pence nor their attention, and values their plaudits as little as their sneers.

The Warstock purposes to be a story; a tale of that to-morrow when wireless telegraphy shall be general, and the use of explosives in war has been superseded; hence, it is a work of the imagination, not a controversial treatise on existing conditions. Nevertheless the incidents are based on certain facts, to some of which brief allusion may be made.
