From Library Journal
This rhyming dictionary includes the author's primer of prosody, illustrated with examples from Espy's own comic verse. His explanation of forms ranges from the essentials of iambic pentameter to the obscurities of acronymic and grammar verse. The heart of the book is a rhyming dictionary organized phonetically by syllables into three sections: words rhyming on the last, the penultimate, and the antepenultimate syllable. Over 80,000 words are included, and though it will take a little practice to use, writers of rhyming lyrics and verse should be quite satisfied with this. The glossary conveniently defines the obscure words cited, and appendixes list further words with common endings; the index is to the first lines of Espy's illustrative verses. This is truly an impressive compilation. Stephen H. Cape, Indiana Univ. Lib., Bloomington
