Excerpt from A System of Greek Prosody and Metre: For the Use of Schools and Colleges; Together With the Choral Scanning of the Prometheus Vinctus of AEschylus, and the Ajax and dipus Tyrannus of Sophocles; To Which Are Appended Remarks on Indo Germanic Analogies An accurate acquaintance with the Prosody and Metres of the Greek Language is so necessary an accompaniment of true scholarship, that any attempt to advocate its claims to the notice of the student would be entirely superfluous. It must be admitted, however, that, while all among us are very ready to acknowledge the importance of this branch of learning, only a small number, comparatively, have been induced to make it a subject of careful study; and the result is, that, in matters appertaining to Greek Prosody and Metre, many of those who ought to be better acquainted with these topics display oftentimes a very lamentable want of accuracy. What renders this the more provoking is, that they who come among us from transatlantic seminaries of learning, where metrical studies are much more carefully pursued, frequently undertake to sit in judgment upon our violations of the laws of prosody and metre, when they themselves are at best but very poor representatives of the metrical knowledge which exists in their own countries.
