Not illustrated. 1868 edition. Excerpt: ... $t yt Socr. had pointed out a glaring omission in the speech of Lysias. The orator had discoursed fluently of Love, but had forgotten to explain what he meant by the term. His own speeches present a favourable contrast in this respect. Not only had he 'compelled his hearers to conceive of Love' under the more general idea of Madness, but by dividing and subdividing, he had determined the particular variety of Madness to which Love corresponds. In order to this, he had first adopted the obvious distinction of divine and human; showing that beside the ordinary morbid madness, there was one caused by a divine influence emancipating the soul from the yoke of usage tiHy tfrTv, uv ft Tiy T))v Siivauiv, K.t.a.
