📖 Excerpt from Theophrasti CharacteresOrdincm scntentiarum ut ipsorum capîtum saepe mirum esse diu viderunt interpretes. Sed transpositis cx alio in alium locum paragraphis, id quod ante ali quot lustra maxime philologos delectabat, pauca curari posse mihi persuasum est. Cum ig'itur hebetis illins cditoris (sive redactoris quod aiunt) vestigia nusquam non appareant, hic quoque cante agendum esse patet. Hoc tamem certum est in altera parte, ubi mutantis atque interpolantis furor paulatim desaeviit, genuinum Theophrasti magis enitescere leporem. Quodsi sum mam facias, heredes patrimonii nos esse factos ex dodrante constabit.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
