Excerpt from Greek and Roman Versification: With an Introduction on the Development of Ancient Versification Lucian Muller's "Metrik der Griechen und Romer" (2d ed., Leipzig, 1885) has met with so favorable a reception in Europe, and is in so many respects a valuable handbook, that it has seemed to be worth while to translate it into English, with the author's sanction. Almost all students In our preparatory schools and colleges are sadly deficient in their knowledge of Latin and Greek versification, and any help whatever towards remedying this condition of things may not be amiss. Hence this translation, in which no changes have been introduced except the musical notation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
