Note 100 — Chapter V
Reading edition
It is sufficient to mention here Guest's famous English Rhythms (ed. Skeat, 1882), a book which at its first appearance in 1838 was no doubt a revelation, but which carries things too far; Dr Schipper's Grundriss der Englischen Metrik (Wien, 1895), and for foreign matters M. Gaston Paris's chapter in his Littérature Française au Moyen Age. I do not agree with any of them, but I have a profound respect for all.
