Regarding:  Introductory Suggestions:
Quit now before it's too late!

Almost the same quote in the same location is given in Felix Otter's Grundkurs Sanskrit, p. ix:
,,Give up now before it's too late.''
Handschriftlicher Zusatz eines anonymen Vor-
besitzers unter der Überschrift ,,Introductory 
Suggestions'' in einem antiquarisch erworbenen 
Exemplar von C.R. Lanmans Sanskrit Reader.

Could this be the very same book or is it a coincidence?

All the Best,
Victor

When in the 1980s I bought, second hand, Lanman's A Sanskrit Reader,

Scanned and attached the first paragraph.
I didn't follow the advice to quit.
