ANALYSIS
xi
(i.) Abuse of Rhythm 
(ii.) Broken and Jerky Clauses 
(cc. xli, xlii).(iii.) Undue Prolixity 
(iv.) Improper Use of Familiar Words. Anti-climax. Example from Theopompus (c. xliii).
VI.—Why this age is so barren of great authors—whether the cause is to be sought in a despotic form of government, or, as Longinus rather thinks, in the prevailing corruption of manners, and in the sordid and paltry views of life which almost universally prevail (c. xliv).
