In reading parts of The King James Version* of the Bible, l have found a great deal of syllabic rhythm, which has added considerably to my appreciation of the work as literature. After investigation it appeared that all critics and scholars who had commented upon the matter had come to the same conclusion, but that no-one was explicit about how it could be shown precisely. This thesis was undertaken to examine the rhythmical texture of AV with exactitude, and then to draw certain conclusions that could less easily be gainsaid than the opinions derived from subjective impressions.
