对于我即将写的最狂野，但最平凡的叙述，我既不期望也不要求相信。在我的感官拒绝自己的证据的情况下，我确实会疯掉。然而，我并没有疯，我也确实没有做梦。但明天我就死了，今天我要卸下我灵魂的负担。我的直接目的是在世界面前，清楚地，简洁地，不加评论，一系列家庭事件。这些事件的后果使我恐惧、折磨、毁灭，但我不打算详细说明。对我来说，他们提出了很少，但恐怖对许多人来说，他们似乎没有那么可怕的_巴洛克_。在此之后，也许会发现一些智慧，它会把我的幻象减少到普通的地方，一些比我自己更平静，更有逻辑，远不如我自己激动的智慧，它会感知到，在我怀着敬畏详细描述的情况下，只不过是一个非常自然的因果关系的普通继承。
FOR the most wild, yet most homely narrative which I am about to pen, I neither expect nor solicit belief. Mad indeed would I be to expect it, in a case where my very senses reject their own evidence. Yet, mad am I not and very surely do I not dream. But to-morrow I die, and to-day I would unburthen my soul. My immediate purpose is to place before the world, plainly, succinctly, and without comment, a series of mere household events. In their consequences, these events have terrified have tortured have destroyed me. Yet I will not attempt to expound them. To me, they have presented little but Horror to many they will seem less terrible than _barroques_. Hereafter, perhaps, some intellect may be found which will reduce my phantasm to the common-place some intellect more calm, more logical, and far less excitable than my own, which will perceive, in the circumstances I detail with awe, nothing more than an ordinary succession of very natural causes and effects.
