A System of Latin Prosody and Metre: Froom the Best Authorities, Ancient and Modern (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from A System of Latin Prosody and Metre: Froom the Best Authorities, Ancient and Modern The author of the present work prepared several years ago a Treatise on Latin Prosody and Metre, which met with no unfavourable reception, and proved, as he has reason to believe, a somewhat useful guide to the young prosodian. This volume having been for some time completely out of print, the author has been induced to write a new work on the subject: one that may not only be more worthy of his increased experience as an instructer, but may furnish also more detailed information on various points that were necessarily omitted in the previous treatise. In collecting materials for this purpose, the author has derived important aid from the Latin Prosodies of Dr. Carey and Professor Ramsay, especially the latter, and he has introduced into the present work whatever appeared of value in these and other publications of a similar nature. He does not entertain a doubt, therefore, but that the young scholar will find in the present volume everything that may be needed by him, not only at the commencement, but also throughout the several stages, of his academic career. Very few rules are given, it will be perceived, for the structure of Latin verse. This forms a distinct department of study, for which, at some future day, a separate work will be prepared; and this intended work will also contain the Essay on Leonine and Macaronic Versification, which was to have formed part of the present volume, but which has been omitted through fear of making the work too large a one. The Latin metrical rules of Alvarez were given in the previous work, but are omitted in this. The practice of giving Latin rules in matters of prosody is fast going out of use, and deservedly so; and, besides this, the rules of Alvarez are in numerous instances decidedly erroneous.
