¢º PREFACE. THE note of prophecy! It sounds sharp and clear in many a vibrant line, in many a sonorous sentence of the essays herein collected for the first time. Written for various Californian journals and periodicals and extending over a period of more than a quarter of a century, these opinions and reflections express the refined judgment of one who has seen, not as through a glass darkly, the trend of events. And having seen the portentous effigy that we are making of the Liberty our fathers created, he has written of it in English that is the despair of those who, thinking less clearly, escape not the pitfalls of diffuseness and obscurity. ¢¹ ¸Ó¸®¸»(PREFACE). ¿¹¾ðÀÇ ¸Þ¸ð! ¿©±â¿¡ óÀ½À¸·Î ¼öÁýµÈ ¿¡¼¼ÀÌÀÇ ¸¹Àº »ý»ýÇÑ ¹®Àå¿¡¼ ±×°ÍÀº ¼±¸íÇÏ°í ¸íÈ®ÇÏ°Ô µé¸³´Ï´Ù.

¢º The 'predatory rich' (to use Mr. Stead's felicitous term) put their hands into our pockets because they know that, virtually, none of us will refuse to take their hands in our own afterwards, in friendly salutation. If notorious rascality entailed social outlawry the only rascals would be those properly?and proudly?belonging to the 'criminal class.¡® ¢¹ '¾àÅ»ÀûÀÎ ºÎÀÚ'(½ºÅ×µå ¾¾ÀÇ ÁÁÀº Ç¥ÇöÀ» ºô¸®ÀÚ¸é)´Â »ç½Ç»ó ¿ì¸® Áß ¾î´À ´©±¸µµ ³ªÁß¿¡ Ä£±ÙÇÑ Àλç·Î ¼ÕÀ» Àâ´Â °ÍÀ» °ÅºÎÇÏÁö ¾ÊÀ» °ÍÀ̶ó´Â °ÍÀ» ¾Ë°í Àֱ⠶§¹®¿¡ ¿ì¸® ÁÖ¸Ó´Ï¿¡ ¼ÕÀ» ³Ö¾ú½À´Ï´Ù. ¾Ç¸í ³ôÀº ¾Ç´çÀÌ »çȸÀû ¹«¹ýÀ» ¼ö¹ÝÇÑ´Ù¸é À¯ÀÏÇÑ ¾Ç´çÀº ´ç¿¬È÷ ±×¸®°í ÀÚ¶û½º·´°Ôµµ '¹üÁË °èÃþ'¿¡ ¼ÓÇÏ´Â »ç¶÷µéÀÏ °ÍÀÔ´Ï´Ù.
¢º Again, Edwin Markham has attracted to himself no little attention by advocating the application of the Golden Rule in temporal affairs as a cure for evils arising from industrial discontent In this he, too, has been anticipated. Mr. Bierce, writing in "The Examiner," March 25, 1894, said: "When a people would avert want and strife, or having them, would restore plenty and peace, this noble commandment offers the only means?all other plans for safety and relief are as vain as dreams, and as empty as the crooning of fools. And, behold, here it is: 'All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.'¡° ¢¹ ´Ù½Ã ÇÑ ¹ø ¿¡µåÀ© ¸¶Å©ÇÜ(Edwin Markham)Àº »ê¾÷°èÀÇ ºÒ¸¸À¸·Î ÀÎÇØ ¹ß»ýÇÏ´Â ÇؾÇÀ» Ä¡·áÇϱâ À§ÇØ Çö¼¼ ¹®Á¦¿¡ Ȳ±Ý·üÀ» Àû¿ëÇÒ °ÍÀ» ¿ËÈ£ÇÔÀ¸·Î½á ÀûÁö ¾ÊÀº °ü½ÉÀ» ²ø¾ú½À´Ï´Ù.

¢º The essays cover a wide range of subjects, embracing among other things government, dreams, writers of dialect, and dogs, and always the author's point of view is fresh, original and non-Philistine. Whether one cares to agree with him or not, one will find vast entertainment in his wit that illuminates with lightning flashes all he touches. Other qualities I forbear allusion to, having already encroached too much upon the time of the reader. S. O.
