[180]

In my treatment of the art of discourse, I desire, like the genealogists, to start at the beginning.1 It is acknowledged that the nature of man is compounded of two parts, the physical and the mental, and no one would deny that of these two the mind comes first and is of greater worth; for it is the function of the mind to decide both on personal and on public questions, and of the body to be servant to the judgements of the mind.

1 Literally, I desire first to discuss the art of discourse after the manner of the genealogists.
