of principles of such arts are very few, and differ from the 

 sciences. 



They say that the art appHes to dehberative and forensic ora- 

 tory. Therefore when it is demonstrated that they are capable 

 of neither, it is made plain that they have no art. 



. . . to write imitations of forensic, deliberative and ambas- 

 sadorial speeches. In addition to this, other imitations of 

 speeches must be made to deceive people into thinking that this 

 implants the political faculty, i. e. to demonstrate that it is an 

 art. For not without system could one persuade the majority 

 that he knows what he does not know. 



Certain arts have been transmitted to men in writing, e. g. 

 architecture, ship-carpentry, navigation, painting. All these arts 

 had methods in olden time. 



No man wa^ able, whether induced by philanthropy or vain- 

 glory, to impart to his contemporaries or to posterity [the 

 principles of politics] unless he employed the political rexrat 

 of the philosophers. 



[One] oftentimes advises a man to be just and rich or poor 

 and humble or magnificent or beautiful, matters in which it is 

 madness to speak of art; and the statesmen probably are better 

 guessers than others. Why not? They have more access to the 

 people.-^

Fragments of Book II. 



The very considerable disconnected fragments of Book II are collected 

 by Sudhaus in vol. II pp. 65-130. A certain grouping is possible, and has 

 been worked out by Sudhaus in the introduction to vol. I pp. XXVII ff., 

 which I have used as a basis for my own arrangement. In the case of 

 most of the groups it will be apparent to what part of the book they 

 belong, and what relation they bear to the larger continuous fragment. I 

 have thought it wise to indicate in case of the obscurer passages my own 

 conjecture as to their position. The meaning of most of the passages, 

 however, will be clear to one who has read the preceding pages of the 

 second book.'^ 



If some say that the faculty of speech comes by practice, the 

 majority say that practice alone produces poor speakers.
