Our next point
will be that which first occurred to us, namely the
plea that he was recalled by the agency of the
uneducated son. At this point we are confronted
by the question whether the son who secured his
father's restoration is thereby to be regarded in the
light of an advocate, since he secured for him
precisely what his original advocate demanded for
him, and it is not an unreasonable claim to ask that
an action should be regarded as equivalent when it
is really more than equivalent.
