This is a story, presumably written by editor Montalba; pp. 1-8 in the 1st ed. (viewed as Project Gutenberg transcript), pp. 13-19 in the US ed. (viewed at HathiTrust).
The brief Preface is an essay, "The time has been, but happily exists no longer, when it would have been necessary to offer an apology for such a book as this. ...". It closes with acknowledgment of "Mr. Richard Doyle's admirable Illustrations."
