Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Carmen Arvale, Seu Martis Verber, or the Tonic Laws of Latin Speech and Rhythm: Supplement to the Prolegomena to the History of Italico-Romanic Rhythm
Since the publication of my Prolegomena in January last, further investigation of the tonic phenomena presented by the Carmen Arvale has revealed to me in fuller light the great tonic laws of Latin speech and rhythm. This brief supplement, which will be laid before the American Philological Association at the Toronto meeting in December of the current year, presents our ancient cryptograph of the sacred spear-cult and Saturnian-ritual of Mars in all its glory as the Alpha and Omega of tonic inquiry; it will outline summarily the tonic laws of Latin speech and rhythm; and it will develop historically the salient criteria of artistic evolution.
