Parts of a Book:
Preface & Foreword & Introduction
An author's prefatory remarks
that explain the object and scope of what follows
are usually titled "Preface,"
which is appropriate since the word preface
comes from Latin praefari, meaning "to say beforehand."
For works of literature,
prefaces can sometimes be extended essays,
such as those of Henry James and George Bernard Shaw.
The preface often closes with acknowledgements of those
who assisted in the writing,
and it is usually signed
(and the date and place of writing sometimes
follow the typeset signature).
When a person other than the author writes an introductory essay,
it is normally titled "Foreword"
(which denotes words said before something else
and is presumably from a translation of German Vorwort);
the author's preface, if any, then follows it.
Another type of prefatory matter is the "Introduction."
The introduction contains information
that is essential to the main text
and that may be paginated in Arabic numerals.
In reference works, such as a dictionary,
a section of explanatory notes concerning content and format
might be included in the front matter.
