We have largely ceased to demand from the readers of a book any imaginative trans- literation into the living voice . But mankind was slow in acquiescing in this renuncia- tion. Isocrates in a well-known passage (5, 10) of his ' * Letter to Philip, ' ' laments that the scroll he sends will not be able to say what he wants it to say. Philip will hand it to a secretary, and the secretary, neither knowing nor caring what it is all about, will read it out " with no persuasiveness, no indication of ...changes of feeling, as if he were giving a list of items. " The early [ 18] Arab writers in the same situation used to meet it squarely. The sage wrote his own book and trained his disciples to read it aloud, each sentence exactly right ; and generally, to avoid the mistakes of the or- dinary untrained reader, he took care that the script should not be intelligible to such persons. These instances show us in what spirit the first grammatici, our fathers in the art, conceived their task, and what a duty they have laid upon us.
