Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Elements of English: A Preparation for the Study of English Literature
Many poets have devoted much time to the mechanical structure of their verses. To appreciate the work of such poets fully, it is necessary to know how they gave their poems the forms in which they are published, and to determine the suitableness or unsuitable ness of these forms to the sentiments expressed. Besides, Prosody is very important in fixing correct pronunciation.
A great deal of the work done with -the English sentence in Grammar and Rhetoric has been to discover errors. The teaching of correct English has, therefore, been negative in character.
