A further question arises at this point, since
some make memory follow invention in the list of
departments, while others make it follow arrangement.
Personally I prefer to place it fourth. For we ought
not merely to retain in our minds the fruits of our

invention, in order that we may be able to arrange
them, or to remember our arraangement in order that
we may express it, but we must also commit to
memory the words which we propose to use, since
memory embraces everything that goes to the compposition of a speech.
