        Per Chicago Manual of Style, 16th edition:

        Foreword: “reserved for prefatory remarks by someone other than the author”

        Preface: “author’s own statement about a work”

        Introduction: “Most . . . belong not in the front matter but at the beginning of the text . . . Material about the book — it’s origins, for example — rather than about the subject matter should be included in the preface or in the acknowledgements”
