Excerpt from A History of French Versification
There remains the pleasant task of thanking Pro fessors T. F. Tout and James Tait of Owens College, whose kindly advice did much to encourage me in my task. Thanks are also due to Mr. E. E. Kellett, of the Leys School, for valuable suggestions, and to Mr. A. R. Ainsworth, of King's College, Cambridge, for reading through a large part of the proofs.
