[63]
The figure which the Greeks
call apostrophe, by which is meant the diversion of
our words to address some person other than the
judge, is entirely banned by some rhetoricians as
far as the exordium is concerned, and for this they
have some reason, since it would certainly seem to
be more natural that we should specially address
ourselves to those whose favour we desire to win.
