MINTONI WARRENO 
 SACRUM. 
 
INTRODUCTION. 
 
 Since the publication of my Prolegomena in January last, fur- 
 ther investigation of the tonic phenomena presented by the Carmen 
 Arvale has revealed to me in fuller light the great tonic laws of 
 Latin speech and rhythm. This brief supplement, which will be 
 laid before the American Philological Association at the Toronto 
 meeting in December of the current year, presents our ancient 
 cryptograph of the sacred spear-cult and Saturnian-ritual of Mars 
 in all its glory as the Alpha and Omega of tonic inquiry; it will 
 outline summarily the tonic laws of Latin speech and rhythm; and 
 it will develop historically the salient criteria of artistic evolution. 
 
 The distinguishing difference between my final conclusions and 
 those of Hellenizing science will be found to lie in the substitution 
 of the principle of the initial accent and descending ictus (Ictuum 
 Descensio) for the phonetically inadequate and erroneous general- 
 ization of the Paenultima Law, and in the substitution of the prin- 
 ciple of the sustained accentual thesis and ictual arsis (Ictuum 
 Sublatio) for the barren and irrelevant incident of Hellenizing 
 quantity.
