'The second edition of Professor Koster's 'Traité' ist most welcome. It has been expanded form the first edition of 1936 by some fifty pages, the largest supplements being on prosody, the dactylic hexameter, the iambic trimester, and colometry. There are many minor additions and modifications, and the bibliography has been brought down to 1950. (...) This is (...) a scholarly and extremely useful work, not least for the admirable summary of Latin metric with which it concludes.' (A.M. DALE on the 2nd ed in The Classical Review (New Series), 1955, p.204-205).
