Summary
Introduction, prologue, prelude, preface, foreword, exordium, and preamble are all terms that serve as a preliminary or antecedent to an extended treatment, development, discussion, or presentation. Introduction is the ordinary term of this group, which specifically applies to that part of a work (as a discourse, treatise, play, or musical composition) which prepares the reader or auditor for the body of the work, especially by giving him material necessary for his understanding of what follows. Preface is usually applied to the introductory discourse written by the author or editor, while exordium is a formal beginning, especially of an oration but sometimes of a written exposition or argument, in which the speaker or writer makes an approach to his subject by remarks intended to awaken the interest of his auditors or readers and to pave the way for their understanding of what he is to say or for their acceptance of his conclusions.
