Many people write a book that seems good to them when they publish it but later a translator-interpreter comes along makes it available to a wider audience. Johann Fichte wrote The Vocation of the Scholar in 1794. William Smith translated the book and included this introduction with his translation. 

Does an introduction help or hurt the original work?
