Excerpt from A History of English Prosody, Vol. 3: From the Twelfth Century to the Present Day The Preface of the second volume of this book was much shorter than the Preface of the first this shall be shorter still, indeed of the shortest. For I have endeavoured to say in the body of the text what I thought material, and I do not wish to say anything immaterial either here or elsewhere. I have only to thank critics for the kindness with which the work has been generally received hitherto; to hope that this part of it - the most difficult and trying, no doubt, of the three, as touching matters most inter esting to most people - will not be found unworthy of the continuance of that kindness; to apologise to any one whom I may have offended, in any of the senses of that word, while writing on a matter where offence is very hard to avoid unless one writes with a flavourless and colourless scholasticism and to make my bow.

THERE may be some difference of opinion on the question Distribution, and nomenclature. whether the English poetry of the last third of theand nineteenth century can be separated from that of the middle third (using these fractional terms with literary laxity, and not with mathematical correctness) even as much as this middle division can be separated from the first . Not merely is the productive existence of Tennyson and Browning, for much more than half of it, a serious impediment to any such segregation; but it is impossible to say that their younger contemporaries differ from them, even in the not very strongly marked way in which they differ from their own elders....
