Consequently
Aristotle in the second book of his Rhetoric has
made a careful examination of all that commonly
happens to things and persons, and what things and
persons are naturally adverse or friendly to other
things or persons, as for instance, what is the
natural result of wealth or ambition or superstition,
what meets with the approval of good men, what is
the object of a soldier's or a farmer's desires, and by
what means everything is sought or shunned.
