Historical manuscripts and early printed books often included blank leaves, known as flyleaves, to protect the text block or to separate the front matter (like the preface) from the main body of the work. The incomplete sentence on the preceding page suggests that some text may be missing from the transition, or that the preface was left unfinished by the author.
