Writing is the act of one whose instructions are
calculated, a of use to friends and enemies – to a
bad cause act to a good one.
We now remember this hanging up in a dark-room the
into if a
Aristotle, to the genius which could strike out this
novel line of instruction, Aristotle added that a sort of probity which
in giving receipts for producing deception delusion exemplified manifested exercised
itself in giving counter-receipts for the purpose
of dissipating it if produced.
He who in rea with views borrowing
from Aristotle, or from his any nearer source, a generosity of
design congenial similar to that of Aristotle, should be disposed
to look over the work either of the illustrious Roman
or that of the obscure German, might give to the instruction
they have delivered an effect with neither preceptor of
them appears to have intended. To a book,
the object of which was to teach them how to poison the art of poisoning administering
with success he might give the effect of a book of the object
of which were to teach men how to cure preserve show how man may be preserved
men from its influence.
