• Of. Daniello, p. 19; Minturno, De Poeta, p. 39, 272 LITEEAKY CRITICISM IN ENGLAND [chap. and not to general reason, the example he depicts draws no necessary consequence. The poet alone accomplishes ihis dual task. What the philosopher says should be done is by the poet pictured most perfectly in some one by whom it has been done, thus coupling thg- general notionjwith^theparticular instance. The philosopher, moreover, teaches the learned only ; the poet teaches all, and is, in Plu- tarch's p...hrase, "the right popular philosopher,'" for he seems only to promise delight, and moves men to virtue unawares. But even if the philoso- pher excel the poet in teaching, he cannot move his readers as the poet can, and this is of higher impor- tance than teaching ; for what is the use of teaching virtue if the pupil is not moved to act and accom- plish what he is taught ?^ On the other hand, the historian deals with particular instances, with vices and virtues so commingled that the reader can find no pattern to imitate.
