it applies to the particular virtues. In practical philosophy, although universal
principles have a wider application,1 those covering a particular part of the field
possess a higher degree of truth; because conduct deals with particular facts, and our
theories are bound to accord with these.

2 Here apparently the lecturer displayed a table of virtues （like the one in Aristot. Eud. Eth. 1220b 37）, exhibiting each as a mean between two vices of excess and defect in respect of a certain class of action or feeling. This is developed in detail in Bk. 3. 6-end and Bk. 4.
