"The Rhymester or; The Rules of Rhyme" is a comprehensive guide to rhyming, being a dictionary of rhymes, an examination of classical measures with comments on burlesque, comic verse, and song-writing. This volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in poetry- and song-writing, and it would make for a wonderful addition to any collection. Contents include: "Verse Generally", "Classic Versification", "Guides and Hand-books", "Of Feet and Caesura", "Meter and Rhythm", "Of Rhyme", "Of Figures", "Of Burlesque and Comic Verse, and Vers De Société", "Of Song-writing", "Of the Sonnet", "Of the Rondeau and the Ballade", "Of Other Fixed Forms of Verse", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
