First sentence: In introducing a successor volume to Adventures with Britannia, I am reminded of the Cambridge mathematician G. H. Hardy, who once wrote that the pain of having to repeat himself was so excruciating that he decided to end the agony by offering no apology. Perhaps it is best not to alter language so carefully wrought on a previous occasion.
