Long before this, Musonius Rufus, an aristocratic Stoic, had admitted slaves to his lectures, and at the risk of his life had preached peace to the armies of Vitellius and Vespasian. And this wide-spread movement had, as we have seen, been continued by men like Dio, and later still by Apuleius. But by thus gaining in width it lost greatly in depth.
If ever a situation called for a man who might at once command the confidence of the people and arouse the latent patriotism of our wide-spread population, a man who might do the work of years in a few months' time, who might in his own persuasive personality become a center of patriotism around which Union-loving men of all parties, and of no party, could unite in defense of the imperilled country; one unfettered by old antagonisms, or misled by personal ambition, a heaven-sent man destined to a work no other could accomplish this the situation plainly demanded.
