Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Journal of Philology, Vol. 26 Great progress has been made during the last half-century in the study of the metrical and rhythmical phenomena exhibited by the Greek and Latin poets. I do not here propose to add one more to the list of these inquiries, but to record the results of a study of the Latin hexameter poets made from a point of view rather rhetorical than rhythmical. In the course of this exposition I wish to make some inquiry into the causes by which the effects here noted may have been produced. Evidence will have to be produced in a statistical form, and to do this satisfactorily is most difficult. Observations such as those I have been making are peculiarly liable to be vitiated by ´subjectivity´. Of this I am well aware, and I have done my best to set forth trustworthy details, as is more fully explained below. Two general precautions are necessary. The observer must be ever on his guard against a readiness to admit evidence favourable to conclusions already half seen by anticipation: and the materials when collected must not be strained as evidence. I can only say that I have striven to observe these precautions, and that I shall not infer anything from the exact relations of various percentages.
