Elizabeth Barrett to Uvedale Price, c.15 April 1827: 'I have done reading your correspondence with Mr Commeline [...] I thought it odd that an article of the Edinburgh Review should be referred to, on a philological subject; &, on looking into the one which Mr Commeline calls the "Manual of his heresy", I was surprised to find us accused there of ["]subverting the true metrical structure of Latin hexameters, even according to the accentual system" by [italics]not[end italics] laying our accent on the [italics]long[end italics] syllable, & by laying it on the short ones. The Reviewer seems confused in his speculations'.
