But a very great difference between
enthymemes has escaped the notice of nearly every one, although it also exists
in the dialectical method of syllogisms. For some of them belong to Rhetoric,
some syllogisms only to Dialectic, and others to other arts and faculties, some
already existing and others not yet established. Hence it is that this escapes
the notice of the speakers, and the more they specialize in a subject, the more
they transgress the limits of Rhetoric and Dialectic. But this will be clearer
if stated at greater length.
