Adjective

prefatory (comparative more prefatory, superlative most prefatory)

Introductory, preliminary, serving as a prelude or preface. [from 1670s]

Usage notes

Rather formal and academic – preliminary is less formal, while introductory is less formal still. A casual alternative is to use some form of start, as in “To start…” or “Let me start by saying…”, as opposed to “By way of prefatory remarks…”.
