Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Shakespeare's Versification: And Its Apparent Irregularities Explained by Examples From Early and Late English Writers
The Editor Of a posthumous work usually finds it a part of his duty to lay before the public some account of the author. It is my good fortune to be spared a task which in all cases must be painful to a surviving friend, and on the present occasion would have been attended with peculiar difficulty. The uneventful, but not uninteresting, life Of William Sidney Walker, has already been the subject of a Memoir by Mr. Moultrie and I am sure that no one who has perused those pages would pardon me for the presumption of venturing on a task, which had already been executed with so much feeling and discrimination.
