_What_ you will think after you have read the book, I do not want to know; indeed, I would rather not know. WHAT YOU WILL THINK AFTER YOU HAVE READ THE BOOK I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW INDEED I WOULD RATHER NOT KNOW
l you all about Germany--at all events, all I know about Germany--and the Ober-Ammergau Passion Play. I also tell you about other things. I do not tell you all I know about all these other things, because I do not want to swamp you with knowledge. I wish to lead you gradually. When you have learnt this book, you can come again, and I will tell you some more. I should only be defeating my own object did I, by making you think too much at first, give you a perhaps, lasting dislike to the exercise. I have purposely put the matter in a light and attractive form, so that I may secure the attention of the young and the frivolous. I do not want them to notice, as they go on, that they are being instructed; and I have, therefore, endeavoured to disguise from them, so far as is practicable, that this is either an exceptionally clever or an exceptionally useful work. I want to do them good without their knowing it. I want to do you all good--to improve your minds and to make you think, if I can.  YOUR MIND IN THIS BOOK I TELL YOU ALL ABOUT GERMANY AT ALL EVENTS ALL I KNOW ABOUT GERMANY AND THE OBER AMMERGAU PASSION PLAY I ALSO TELL YOU ABOUT OTHER THINGS I DO NOT TELL YOU ALL I KNOW ABOUT ALL THESE OTHER THINGS BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO SWAMP YOU WITH KNOWLEDGE I WISH TO LEAD YOU GRADUALLY WHEN YOU HAVE LEARNT THIS BOOK YOU CAN COME AGAIN AND I WILL TELL YOU SOME MORE I SHOULD ONLY BE DEFEATING MY OWN OBJECT DID I BY MAKING YOU THINK TOO MUCH AT FIRST GIVE YOU A PERHAPS LASTING DISLIKE TO THE EXERCISE I HAVE PURPOSELY PUT THE MATTER IN A LIGHT AND ATTRACTIVE FORM SO THAT I MAY SECURE THE ATTENTION OF THE YOUNG AND THE FRIVOLOUS I DO NOT WANT THEM TO NOTICE AS THEY GO ON THAT THEY ARE BEING INSTRUCTED AND I HAVE THEREFORE ENDEAVOURED TO DISGUISE FROM THEM SO FAR AS IS PRACTICABLE THAT THIS IS EITHER AN EXCEPTIONALLY CLEVER OR AN EXCEPTIONALLY USEFUL WORK I WANT TO DO THEM GOOD WITHOUT THEIR KNOWING IT I WANT TO DO YOU ALL GOOD TO IMPROVE YOUR MINDS AND TO MAKE YOU THINK IF I CAN
