0 a short piece of writing at the beginning of a book, sometimes praise by a famous person or someone who is not the writer -- （書籍的）前言，序言
It is convenient as a conclusion to this foreword to outline some directions of future research as we see them now.
This foreword also gives us a substantial opportunity to respond to critical probing of our analytical approach.
However, there is a passage in the foreword that is much more significant for present concerns.
The rather laboured survey of the history of exegesis in the foreword is also off-putting.
The book begins with a foreword by two service users, one of whom has a diagnosis of dementia.
A reference to 'recent research' in the foreword alludes to an article published in 1977 (p. xxxii).
In spite of the fact that this foreword is reproduced exactly as it was, the authors of the 1864 edition are not identified.
The editorial foreword is concise and gives a well written outline of how the chapters contribute to these topics.
