Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Obviously enough this consideration should determine the prevailing method, from which no deviations should be made without special justification. In the present instance this method has been followed without any deviations, in the belief that none are made necessary by the purpose of the book. As to concise statements and restricted illustrations, the attempt has been to make these suggestive of what is to be supplied in the way of explanation and amplification. The teacher should thus be led to expound the fuller import of the principles and conventionalities of the art and to illustrate the more complete range of their application. But for the purpose of elementary instruction and this is the principal purpose to be served the book is intended to be in itself as adequate as possible. All that is set forth in it should be thoroughly learned in connection with introductory courses in literature. It has been difficult to refrain from an historical presentation of many aspects of the subject. The more mature student will, however, be able to detect indications of what may be gained by surveying the whole course of poetic forms in English. From these hints he should also be able to infer the method by which trustworthy conclusions are reached, and derive for himself a scientific interest in the historical observation of the phenomena. Still more difficult has it been to withhold comments on the aesthetic function of the forms and conventionalities of the art.
