[Footnote 2: As this anecdote rests entirely upon tradition, it has been
differently told; and it is here admitted in this form, rather as a
characteristic feature of the age, and of the individual, than from any
positive reliance upon its authenticity. There are yet transmitted,
among the inhabitants of Weymouth and Hingham, many stories of Mr.
Smith's application of texts, in a similar manner, to the events of the
Revolution, which render the truth of this far from improbable.]

[Footnote 10: "Ex his enim fontibus, unde omnia ornate dicendi praecepta
sumuntur, licebit etiam laudationem ornare, neque illa elementa
desiderare; quae ut nemo tradat, quis est, qui nesciat, quae sint in
homine laudanda? Positis enim iis rebus, quas Crassus in illius
orationis suae, quam contra collegam censor habuit, principio dixit: 'Quae
natura, aut fortuna darentur hominibus, _in iis rebus vinci posse animo
aequo pati: quae ipsi sibi homines parare possent, in iis rebus se pati
vinci non posse_;' qui laudabit quempiam, intelliget, exponenda sibi
esse fortunae bona. Ea sunt, generis, pecuniae, propinquorum, amicorum,
opum, valetudinis, formae, virium, ingenii, caeterarumque rerum, quae sunt
aut corporis; aut extraneae: si habuerit, bene his usum: si non habuerit,
sapienter caruisse: si amiserit, moderate tulisse. Deinde, quid
sapienter is, quem laudet, quid liberaliter, quid fortiter, quid juste,
quid magnifice, quid pie, quid grate, quid humaniter, quid denique cum
aliqua virtute, aut fecerit _aut tulerit_."--_Cicero_, _de Oratore_, II.
