The vices and foibles of the Greek sophist or rhetorician the Græculus esuriens are in everybody's mind; but he who reads Marcus Aurelius's account of his Greek teachers and masters, will understand how it is that, in spite of the vices and foibles of individual Græculi, the education of the human race owes to Greece a debt which can never be overrated.
And is she after all, like Pantagruel's ship, to be loaded with hemp? Well, we must try two or three milder cargoes first.
