First sentence: ALTHOUGH in the literature of antiquity there is necessarily a great deal both of delineation and of analysis of Character-the one chiefly in the poets and historians, and the other in the philosophers-the only work bearing this subject expressly as its title is a treatise of THEOPHRASTUS, the pupil, friend, and literary executor of Aristotle, and a man of wide attainments, as shown by the extent of his published writings.
