Reseña del editor
In the spring of 1912 I was asked to review Schroder s Horazens Verstnasse, fur A nfdnger erklarty and I did not find that it solved the problem ;it was not a thing which, if translated, would be helpful to beginners in this country. In the summer it occurred to me to try the experiment of writing an account of Horace slyric metres myself, and I wrote it, merely as an experiment and without the slightest intention of publishing it. Shortly after this I learned from Professor Lindsay that he was interested in getting something done towards making metrical knowledge more accessible to students ;what he had in mind was finding somebody to translate Bickel ssection on Metre in Gercke and Norden s Ein Uitung in die A lterthums wissenschafL But Bickel streatment, he agreed, was not satisfactory for our purpose ;like Schroder sit was too technical and too condensed for the ordinary reader. I showed him my experimental account of Horace smetres, and chiefly through his instigation and encouragement I wrote in the following summer accounts of some of the more familiar metres such as the Hexameter and Iambic Trimeter.
