Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Correspondence of Pronto and M. Aurelius: A Lecture Delivered in the Hall of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, December 3, 1903, With an Appendix of Emendations of the Letters
The first vice in that kind of speaking isa very vile one, I mean repeating the same idea a thousand times over in a different dress. As actors dancing in a mantle use the same mantle to express a swan's tail, the hair of Venus, the lash of a Fury; just so this school of writers present the same one sentiment in many forms, air it, change and turn it about, rub up the same one idea continually.
