In modern times, as proceedings are removable from hence into the king's superior courts, by writ of pone or recordari, in the same manner as from hundred courts and courts-baron, and as the same writ of false judgment may be had in nature of a writ of error, this has occasioned the same disuse of bringing actions therein." 3 Blackstone, 36, 37.

Sic mihi persuasi, sic sentio, cum tanta celeritas animorum sit, tanta memoria praeteritorum futurorumque prudentia, tot artes tantae scientiae, tot inventa, non posse eam naturam, quae res eas contineat, esse mortalem; cumque semper agitetur animus nec principium motus habeat, quia se ipse moveat, ne finem quidem habiturum esse motus, quia numquam se ipse sit relicturus; et cum simplex animi natura esset neque haberet in se quicquam admixtum dispar sui atque dissimile, non posse eum dividi, quod si non posset, non posse interire; magnoque esse argumento homines scire pleraque ante quam nati sint, quod iam pueri, cum artis difficilis discant, ita celeriter res innumerabilis arripiant, ut eas non tum primum accipere videantur, sed reminisci et recordari.

REMINISCI ET RECORDARI: a double translation of Plato's αναμιμνησκεσθαι, quite in Cicero's fashion; the former word implies a momentary act, the latter one of some duration. HAEC PLATONIS FERE: 'so far Plato'. MAIOR: 'the elder'; cf. 59 Cyrum minorem. NOLITE ARBITRARI: a common periphrasis.

These are your only true weapons, Sir Ralph your writs of entry, assise, and right your pleas of novel disseisin, post-disseisin, and re-disseisin your remitters, your præcipes, your pones, and your recordari faciases. These are the sword, shield, and armour of proof of a wise man." "Zounds! you take away one's breath with this hail-storm of writs and pleas, master lawyer!" cried Nicholas.

Lysimachus was the father of Aristides. SUNT: = vivunt, as often; so in 32 esse = vivere; 54 fuit = vixit; 56, 60, 69. SEPULCRA LEGENS: Cato was a great antiquarian; cf. 38 Originum. IN MEMORIAM REDEO MORTUORUM: the genitive as with memini, recordari etc. For the phrase cf. Verr. 1, 120 redite in memoriam, iudices, quae libido istius fuerit; also below, 59 in gratiam redire cum voluptate.
