Sed illuc redeo: videtisne, quantum munus sit
oratoris historia? Haud scio an flumine orationis et varietate
maximum; neque eam reperio usquam separatim instructam
rhetorum praeceptis; sita sunt enim ante oculos.
Nam quis nescit primam esse historiae legem, ne quid falsi
dicere audeat? Deinde ne quid veri non audeat? Ne
quae suspicio gratiae sit in scribendo? Ne quae simultatis?
M. Tulli Ciceronis Rhetorica. M. Tullius Cicero. A. S. Wilkins. 1902.
