Wiseman, in whose vicariate Oxford lay, called me to Oscott; and I went there with others; afterwards he sent me to Rome, and finally placed me in Birmingham. I wrote to a friend: "January 20, 1846. You may think how lonely I am. 'Obliviscere populum tuum et domum patris tui, has been in my ears for the last twelve hours.
An argument for the restoration of the classical system of education which should run off into eulogies of the good old times might easily become an argumentum ad populum; an argument in favor of a new park which should dwell on selfish advantages which might be gained by the abutters without regard to larger municipal policy would probably be an argumentum ad hominem.

From this were taken two lines appropriated by Horace, and instanced as models of graceful flattery: "Tene magis salvum populus velit, an populum tu, Servet in ambiguum qui consulit et tibi et Urbi, Iupiter."
Mivart's hypothesis, must have used words studiously calculated to deceive his creatures and worshippers, is 'no religion worthy of the name. 'Incredibile est, Deum illis verbis ad populum fuisse locutum quibis deciperetur, is a verdict in which for once Jesuit casuistry concurs with the healthy moral sense of all mankind."
