Excerpt from The Measures of the Poets: A New System of English Prosody
It may be added that this book is the outcome of an accidental discovery, made with great surprise about three years ago, that works on English prosody still adopt a system which even at school filled us with despair, and which I believe to be incapable of reasoned defence. It is now some forty-five years since I first began to apply the principles here set forth to English verse. I have taught them to pupils and found they were quickly grasped, and have sought in vain to discover a point on which they fail.
