Finished Quintilian's section on the partition of propositions. Whether divided or whole, Quintilian concludes that propositions must be open and clear, and enjoy the virtue of brevity.

Quintilian writes of the rhetoric of praise and blame. I was rather disturbed by this on those *deserving* blame, "We also hate the parents of evil men, and it is a disgrace to founders of cities to gather together a race pernicious to everybody else, as did the originator of the Jewish supersition [Moses]. The laws of the Gracchi are an object of hatred." Anti-Semitic, and I have always admired the Gracchi!
