294 NOTES. 



calls it commutative, justice, he says: Corrective justice goes on a prin 

 ciple, not of geometrical, but of arithmetical proportion; in other words, 

 it takes no account of persons, but treats the cases with which it is con 

 cerned as cases of unjust loss and gain, which have to be reduced to the 

 middle point of equality between the parties. (Grant s Aristotle, ed. 2,

 Bacon, Sylva Sylvarum, cent. i. 100 (Works, ii. 383, ed. Spotting) : 

 There is nothing more certain in nature than that it is impossible for 

 any body to be utterly annihilated; but that as it was the work of the 

 omnipotency of God to make somewhat of nothing, so it requireth the 

 like omnipotency to turn somewhat into nothing. [21] Eccl. in. 14, 

 quoted from the Vulgate. [23] Machiavelli, Disc, sopra Livio, iii. i. 

 [27] the Persian magic: Plato commends this Magia, and^calls it 

 Machagistia, and Otwv Oepairda the worship of the Gods ; and saith, that 

 the Kings of Persia learned it, as a knowledge of diuine mysteries, 

 wherein by the worlds Common-wealth they were instructed to gouerne 

 their owne. Purchas his Pilgrimage, p. 366, ed. 1614. The passage 

 of Plato referred to is Alcib. Prim. ii. 121, but the remark of Purchas 

 is apparently derived from the Apologia of Johannes Picus Mirandula 

 (p. 121, ed. 1557). That Plato called Magia by the mystic name of 

 Machagistia is stated by Ammianus Marcellinus (xxiii. 6. 32). [30] 

 Comp. Bacon, Sylva Sylvarum, cent. ii. 113 : There be in music certain 

 figures or tropes ; almost agreeing with the figures of rhetoric, and with 

 the affections of the mind, and other senses. First, the division and 

 quavering, which please so much in music, have an agreement with the 

 glittering of light ; as the moon-beams playing upon a wave. Again, 

 the falling from a discord to a concord, which maketh great sweetness 

 in music, hath an agreement with the affections, which are reintegrated 

 to the better after some dislikes; it agreeth also with the taste, which is 

 soon glutted with that which is sweet alone. The sliding from the close 

 or cadence, hath an agreement with the figure in rhetoric which they 

 c&\\ prater expectatum; for there is a pleasure even in being deceived 

 (Works, ed. Spedding, ii. 388, 389). Comp. also Nov. Org. ii. 27, and
