Hoffmann's reply to Hale (1891), and Wetzel's Der Streit zwischen Hoffmann und Hale (1892); Dahl's Die lateinische Partikel ut (1882), with Gutjahr-Probst's Der Gebrauch von ut bei Terenz (1888); Zimmermann's article on quod und quia im älteren Latein (1880); Scherer's article on quando, in Studemund's Studien; Morris's articles on the Sentence Question in Plautus and Terence in the A.J.P. (vols. x. and xi.); Hale's articles on the Sequence of Tenses in the A.J.P. (vols. viii. and ix.), containing a discussion of the earlier Literature; Elmer's articles on the Latin Prohibitive in A.J.P. (vol. xv.)
A bibliography of the treatises on Prosody and Versification may be found in Gleditsch's treatise in the second volume of Müller's Handbuch; this, with Plessis' Métrique Grecque et Latine (1889), has been made the basis of the chapter on Prosody; but in the treatment of early metres, regard has been had to Klotz (Altrömische Metrik, 1890), and to Lindsay's recent papers on the Saturnian in the A.J.P. (vol. xiv.). In the matter of the order of words we have followed Weil's treatise on the Order of Words, translated by Super (1887).
The question of the correct measurement of hidden quantities is still an unsettled one in Latin; for the sake of consistency the usage of Marx, Hülfsbüchlein für die Aussprache der lateinischen Vokale in positionslangen Silben (2d edition, 1889) has been followed.
The quotations have been made throughout from the Teubner Text editions except as follows: Plautus is cited from the Triumvirate edition of Ritschl; Vergil from the Editio Maior of Ribbeck; Ovid and Terence from the Tauchnitz Texts; Horace from the Editio Minor of Keller and Holder; Lucretius from the edition of Munro; Ennius and Lucilius from the editions of L. Müller; fragmentary Scenic Poets from the edition of Ribbeck. Special care has been taken to make the quotations exact both in spelling and wording; and any variation in the spelling of individual words is therefore due to the texts from which the examples are drawn.
Where it has been necessary to modify the quotations in order to make them suitable for citation, we have enclosed within square brackets words occurring in different form in the text, and in parentheses words that have been inserted; where the passage would not yield to such treatment, Cf. has been inserted before the reference. We have not thought it necessary to add the references in the Prosody except in the case of some of the citations from early Latin.
In the spelling of Latin words used out of quotation, as a rule u and v have been followed by o rather than by u; but here the requirements of clearness and the period of the language have often been allowed to weigh. Otherwise we have followed in the main Brambach's Hülfsbuchlein für lateinische Rechtschreibung (translation by McCabe, 1877).
