Synopsis

Excerpt from An Essay in Isometry, Vol. 1 of 2

My objection to the correspondence of two shorts with a long has probably been entertained in some measure by almost every editor.

It does not seem to me that I am justified in holding back my attempts from publication, either through fear of their being ridiculed (which some of them may probably deserve to be), or from a modest feeling that I ought not to rush in where angels have feared to tread.

I have been a student of Pindar for nearly twenty years, and therefore I feel that I am bound to print, and to let the survival of the fittest prevail.

But this I want to make plain. I hate conjectural emendation, and, had I not felt impelled by a duty to my brother scholars, I should never have embarked on, to me.
