CHAPTER XXV.
That Logic is necessary.
WHEN one of the Company said to him, "Convince me that Logic is necessary;" Would you have me demonstrate it to you, says he?——"Yes."——Then I must use a demonstrative Form of Argument——"Granted."——And how will you know then, whether I argue sophistically? On this, the Man being silent; You see, says he, that, even by your own Confession, Logic ​is necessary; since, without its Assistance, you cannot learn so much as whether it be necessary, or not.

CHAPTER III.
Concerning such as recommend Persons to the Philosophers.
§. 1.Diogenes rightly answered one, who desired Letters of Recommendation from him, "At first sight he will know you to be a Man; and whether you are a good or a bad Man, if he hath any skill in distinguishing, he will know likewise: and, if he hath not, he will never know it, though I should write a thousand times." Just as if you were a Piece of Coin, and should desire to be recommended to any Person as good, in order to be tried: if it be to an Assayer, he will know your Value; for you will recommend yourself.
§. 2. We ought, therefore, in Life also, to have something analogous to this Skill in Gold; that one may be able to say, like the Assayer, Bring me whatever Piece you will, and I will find out its Value: or, as I would say with regard to Syllogisms, Bring me whomever you will, and I will distinguish for you, whether he knows how to solve Syllogisms, or not. Why? Because I can solve Syllogisms myself, and have that Faculty, which is necessary for one who knows how to find out Persons skilled in the Solution of Syllogisms. But how do I act in Life? I at sometimes call a Thing good; at others, bad. What is the Cause of this? The contrary to what happens in Syllogisms; Ignorance, and Inexperience.

CHAPTER XXVI.
What is the Property of Error in Life.
§. 1.EVERY Error in Life implies a Contradiction: for, since he who errs, doth not mean to err, but to be in the Right, it is evident, that he acts contrary to his Meaning. What doth a Thief mean? His own Interest. If, then, Thieving be against his Interest, he acts contrary to his own Meaning. Now every rational Soul is naturally averse to Self-contradiction: but so long as any one is ignorant, that it is a Contradiction, nothing restrains him from acting contradictorily: but, whenever he discovers it, he must as necessarily renounce and avoid it, as any one must dissent from a Falshood, whenever he perceives it to be a Falshood: but, while this doth not appear, he assents to it, as to a Truth.
§. 2. He then is an able Speaker, and excels at once in Exhortation and Conviction, who can discover, to each Man, the Contradiction by which he errs, and prove clearly to him, that what he would, he doth not; and what he would not do, that he doth. For, if that be shown, he will depart from it, of his own accord: but, till you have shown it, be not surprised that he remains where he is: for he doth it on the Appearance, that he acts rightly. Hence Socrates, relying on this Faculty, used to say, "It is not my Custom to cite any other Witness of my Assertions; but I am always contented with my Opponent. I call and ​summon him for my Witness; and his single Evidence is instead of all others." For he knew, that, if a rational Soul be moved by any thing, the Scale must turn, whether it will or no. Show the governing Faculty of Reason a Contradiction, and it will renounce it: but, till you have shown it, rather blame yourself, than him who is unconvinced.

CHAPTER IV.
Concerning a Person, who had been guilty of Adultery.
§. 1.As he was saying, that Man is made for Fidelity; and that whoever subverts this, subverts the peculiar Property of Man; one of those who pass for Men of Literature happened to come in, who had been found guilty of Adultery, in that City. But, continues Epictetus, if, laying aside that Fidelity for which we were born, we form Designs against the Wife of our Neighbour, what do we do? What else but destroy and ruin——What? Fidelity, Honour, and Sanctity of Manners.——Only these? And do not we ruin Neighbourhood? Friendship? Our Country? In what Rank do we place ourselves? How am I to consider you, Sir? As a Neighbour? A Friend? What Sort of one? As a Citizen? How shall I trust you? Indeed, if you were some sorry Vessel, so noisome that no Use could be made of you; you might be thrown on a Dunghill, and no Mortal would take the Trouble to pick you up: but if, being a Man, you cannot fill any one Place in human Society, what shall we do with you? For, suppose you cannot hold the Place of a Friend, can you hold even that of a Slave? And who will trust you? Why, then, should not you also be contented to be thrown upon some Dunghill, as a useless Vessel, and indeed as mere Dung? Will you say, after this, Hath no one any Regard for me, a Man of Letters? Why, you are wicked, and fit for no Use. Just as if Wasps should take it ill that no one hath any Regard for them; but all shun, and whoever can, beats them down. You have such a Sting, that whoever you strike with it, is thrown into Troubles and Pangs. What would you have us do with you? There is no-where to place you.
​§. 2. What, then, are not Women, by Nature, common?
I admit it: and so is a Pig at Table common to those who are invited. But, after it is distributed, go, if you think proper, and snatch away the Share of him who sits next you; or slily seal it, or stretch out your Hand, and taste; and, if you cannot tear away any of the Meat, dip your Fingers and lick them. A fine Companion! A Socratic Guest indeed! Again: Is not the Theatre common to all Citizens? Therefore come, when all are seated, if you think proper, and turn any one of them out of his Place. Thus Women are common by Nature: but when the Legislator, like the Master of an Entertainment, distributes them, will not you, like the rest of the Company, be contented with desiring a Share for yourself; but must you pilfer, and taste what belongs to another?
But I am a Man of Letters, and understand Archedemus.
With all your Understanding of Archedemus, then, be an Adulterer, and a Rogue: And, instead of a Man, a Wolf, or an Ape. For where is the Difference?

Allore v. Jewell
MR. JUSTICE STRONG, with whom concurred MR. CHIEF JUSTICE WAITE and MR. JUSTICE BRADLEY, dissenting.
I cannot concur in the judgment given in this case. Were there no other reason for my dissent, it would be enough that the complainant has been guilty of inexcusable laches. He knew every thing of which he now complains, in February, 1864, when the grantor of the defendant died, and when his rights as her heir vested; and yet he waited until six years and nine months thereafter before he brought this suit, and before he made any complaint of the sale she had made. Meanwhile, he accepted the money the defendant had paid on account of the purchase, and he stood silently by, aserting no claim, while the defendant was making valuable improvements upon the lot, at a cost of $6,000 or $7,000, a sum about equal to the value of the property at the time of the purchase. To permit him now to assert that the sale was invalid, because the vendor was of weak mind, is to allow him to reap a profit from his own unconscionable silence and delay. I cannot think a court of equity should lend itself to such a wrong.
