"May it please heaven that the reader, emboldened and having for the time being become as fierce as what he is reading, should, without being led astray, find his rugged and treacherous way accross the desolate swamps fo this sombre and poison-filled pages; for, unless he brings to his reading a rigorous logic and a tautness of mind equal at least to his wariness, the deadly emanations of this book will dissolve his soul as water does sugar. It is not right that everyone should read the pages which fellow; only a few will be able to savour this better fruit with impunity. Consequently, shrinking soul, turn on your heels and go back before penetrating further into such unchartered, perilous wastelands."
