[152] Thus Mr. Bridges, though he himself does not neglect the unstressed, and even makes combination of the two kinds which are actually feet, would allow sometimes four and sometimes only three stresses in a heroic line. Later stress (or "stress-cum-music") prosodists have even proposed to recognise two "bars" only in such a line.

GLOSSARY
(The miniature glossary which I prefixed to my larger History having been found useful, and indeed some complaints having been made that it was not fuller, I have determined to go to the other extreme here, with a special view to those readers who may be approaching the subject for the first time. Excepting words like "trisyllabic," etc., which can hardly be thought to require explanation, an attempt has been made to include almost every technical, and especially every disputed, term.)
