Excerpt from Greek and Roman Versification: With an Introduction on the Development of Ancient Versification
It is not easy in a handbook, which should be at once thoroughly scientific, brief, and generally intelligible, to satisfy all fair demands, not to mention the unfair. The task was all the harder because, although for a long time I have had a lively interest in the practical questions of classical philology as well as in the needs of the gymnasia, still on account of my position I have come but little into direct touch with these institutions, and so have been deprived of the equally inspiring and manifold impressions produced by daily immediate contact with youth. So much the more grateful ought I to be, that experienced teachers of different countries have assisted me with their advice. They were also, almost without exception, of the Opinion that I should treat in only a cursory way of the lyrical parts of the Greek tragedy.

Excerpt from Greek and Roman Versification: With an Introduction on the Development of Ancient Versification
Lucian Müller's "Metrik der Griechen und Romer" (2d ed., Leipzig, 1885) has met with so favorable a reception in Europe, and is in so many respects a valuable handbook, that it has seemed to be worth while to translate it into English, with the author's sanction.
Almost all students In our preparatory schools and colleges are sadly deficient in their knowledge of Latin and Greek versification, and any help whatever towards remedying this condition of things may not be amiss. Hence this translation, in which no changes have been introduced except the musical notation.
