FACIT AUDIENTIAM: 'procures of itself a hearing for it'. In the words per se ipsa there is no doubt an allusion to the custom at large meetings in ancient times whereby the praeco or κηρυξ called on the people to listen to the speakers. Cf. Liv. 43, 16, 8 praeconem audientiam facere iussit. Quintil. 6, 2, 9 affectus igitur hos concitatos, illos mitis atque compositos esse dixerunt.

Then began that burst of British virtue on which Macaulay has expatiated, and at which the social critics of the continent have laughed.

Dixerunt enim hâc re fieri ut plerique alii foedus secum inire detrectarent et refugerunt qui id ultro factum fuerant si serenissimum Angliæ Regem aperte stare cernerent. Mount to Cromwell: State Papers, Vol. VII. p. 625. This was Lord Burleigh's word for the constitution of the English Church. Instructions to the Bishop of Hereford: Rolls House MS.

But never mind. I have as good a right to the words, until translated back into Greek, as that most classical of yellow admirals. 'Pereant qui ante nos nostra dixerunt! The first proposition is, that war cannot be abolished. The second, and more offensive that war ought not to be abolished. First, therefore, concerning the first. One at a time. Sufficient for the page is the evil thereof!
