The first book contains directions for raising crops of all kinds as well as vegetables and flowers, and is brought to an abrupt termination by the arrival of the priest's freedman who narrates the murder of his master. The party promise to attend the funeral, and with the sarcastic reflection de casu humano magis querentes quam admirantes id Romae factum, the book ends.
'There, people of wide experience would say, 'There goes the sallowest bimetallist in Cheshire. Once this was said so that he overheard it: it was said by an actuary, under a sunset of mauve and grey. Polycarp turned upon him. 'Sallow! he cried fiercely, 'sallow! Quis tulerit Gracchos de seditione querentes. It was said that no actuary ever made game of Dr. Polycarp again."
We at once think of the commonplace from Juvenal: "Quis tulerit Gracchos de seditione querentes." But Rome, without remonstrating, put up with any absurdity of that kind. Sextius and Milo and others had been joined together in opposing the election of Clodius as Ædile, and had probably met violence with violence.
