Hence the way was clearly and invitingly open for a continued sale at the higher price.With a sense of deepest gratitude, therefore, to my publishers for this decision, and to the public for its bewilderingly generous reception of this book, I am glad to have a share in sending it forth at a price that brings it within reach of a wider audience.EDWARD W.
