("Once the beginning student of a foreign language has acquired its rudiments, the need is felt for elementary reading material to reinforce what has been learned. Unfortunately, very little material at this level exists in Haitian.
The great majority of texts available are designed either for the native speaker just learning to read, or for the accomplished one who already reads Haitian with ease. Both categories, however, enjoy a wide range of vocabulary far beyond that of a beginning non-Haitian student.
Thus it was to provide more relatively elementary readings, which we hope will be both interesting and challenging, that these selections were assembled.")
("The present bilingual medical dictionary is intended for the many English- speaking physicians, dentists, nurses, and paramedics treating Haitian patients. It is meant to serve as a corollary both to our Haitian-English Medical Phraseology and to Third-World Folk Beliefs and Practices: Haitian Medical Anthropology. The original intention was to present all three as a single work, but as the material grew, it became advisable to separate the parts into three more easily manageable volumes.")
