1881-1888). A single volume condensation of Schipper's book was issued in Vienna in 1895, and the author prepared an English version of this which he called A History of English Versification (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1910). There are shorter text-books better fitted for the beginner, written from varying points of view. The names of a few of these may be given here, although an exhaustive list would be impossible: Gummere's Handbook of Poetics (Boston: Ginn, 1891); Corson's Primer of English Verse (Boston: Ginn, 1892); Parsons's English Versification (Boston: Leach, Shewell and Sanborn, 1894); Mayor's Chapters on English Meter (Cambridge: University Press, 1886); Omond's Study of Meter (London: Richards, 1903); Bright and Miller's Elements of English Versification (Boston: Ginn, 1910), and Richardson's Study of English Rimes (Hanover, N. H., 1909). Alden's English Verse (New York: Holt, 1903) contains a well-arranged collection of examples. John Addington Symonds's papers on Blank Verse are now available in a separate volume (New York: Scribner, 1895). Poe's three papers on the Rationale of Verse, the Philosophy of Composition and the Poetic Principle can be found in any edition of his works. The influence of Poe is obvious in Lanier's Science of English Verse (New! York: Scribner, 1880), just as the influence of Lanier is obvious in Dabney's Musical Basis of Verse (New York and London: Longmans, 1901). Dr. Holmes's very suggestive paper on the Physiology of Versification is included in his Pages from an Old Volume of Life (Boston: Houghton, Mifflin and Company, 1883). In my own Parts of Speech, Essays on English (New York: Scribner, 1901) will be found An Inquiry as to Rime and a paper On the Poetry of Place-Names.
