The student who desires to give a wider consideration to figures of thought and speech will,
therefore, have a guide to follow, and 1 would not
venture to assert that he could have a better. But
I would ask him to read these passages of Cicero with
reference to my own views on this subject. For I
intend to speak only of those figures of thought
which depart from the direct method of statement,
and I note that a similar procedure has been adopted
by a number of learned scholars.
