[25]
It is no hack-advocate, no hireling pleader, nor yet,
to use no harser term, a serviceable attorney of the
class generally known as causidici, that I am seeking to
form, but rather a man who to extraordinary natural
gifts has added a thorough mastery of all the fairest
branches of knowledge, a man sent by heaven to be
the blessing of mankind, one to whom all history
can find no parallel, uniquely perfect in every detail
and utterly noble alike in thought and speech.
