X PREFACE.
gratiam, dubiis fidem, omnibus vero naturam, et naturce suae
omnia—" It is no easy matter to give novelty to old
subjects, authority to new, to impart lustre to rusty things,
light to the obscure and mysterious, to throw a charm over
what is distasteful, to command credence for doubtful
matters, to give nature to everything, and to arrange
everything according to its nature."
