Excerpt from Rhythm as a Distinguishing Characteristic of Prose Style, Vol. 15: As a Distinguishing Characteristic of Prose Style

A cursory glance at Table I shows that each selection has a foot of maximum frequency, either (1) or (2) that the curves rise more steeply than they descend; that there is considerable variety of shape in the curves. A few typical ones have been plotted and are given in the accompanying charts. The points to be noted are: the acute and the rounded summit, the steep and the gradual descent, the summit in (1) and the summit in the double apex or dip (milton and Stevenson).

Before proceeding to discuss the figures presented in the pre ceding tables, it will be desirable to give some evidence of their reli ability; first, as measures of objective fact; second, as typical of the whole work from which each selection was taken.
