translation.ca: Encara que mon llibre s'adreça sobretot al divertiment de nois i noies, espero que aixo no sera causa que el defugin homes i dones, perque part del meu proposit ha estat mirar de fer plaent memoria als adults d'allo que un dia foren, i de com sentiren i pensaren i parlaren, i en quínes singulars empreses s'esmerçaren de vegades.
translation.en: Although my book is intended mainly for the entertainment of boys and girls, I hope it will not be shunned by men and women on that account, for part of my plan has been to try to pleasantly remind adults of what they once were themselves, and of how they felt and thought and talked, and what queer enterprises they sometimes engaged in.
