Synopsis
Excerpt from Lectures on Dryden
Besides the draft used in the lecture-room, I have had before me pencilled notes made in the spring and summer of 191 1, when Dr Verrall was re-reading Dryden's writings for the purposes of this course. These notes, like the full Iecture-notes, were compiled solely for the lecturer's own use, and to that must be attributed some unconventionallties of expression which would not have found place in his published work. Nor would he have admitted into a work intended for readers digressions and a certain loose ness of structure appropriate in the lecture-room.
