From the Preface to all volumes:
"Since the 1970s I have pursued three separate but
overlapping and sometimes simultaneous careers:
(1) philosopher / writer / teacher / historian of the long
nineteenth century, 1789-1914; (2) editor / translator /
photographer / publisher / biographer / encyclopedist;
(3) cataloging librarian / rare books and special
collections librarian / historian of medicine. Somehow
these three vocations have garnered me some acclaim,
even an entry in Who's Who in America. Each of them
has resulted in some published or presented works.
Because these works have been scattered in a wide
variety of venues, some of which have gone out of print
or have otherwise become generally unavailable - and
of course with the oral presentations being gone as
soon as they are given - I have thought it wise to select,
epitomize, and bring them together in one place - here.
Thus, what follows is what I consider to be the most
important of my shorter works."
