"Ne quis tanquam parva fastidiat Grammatices elementa; non quia magnæ
"sit operæ consonantes a vocalibus discernere, ipsasque eas in semivocalium nu-
merum, mutarumque partiri; sed quia interiora velut sacri hujus adeuntibus,
" apparebit multa rerum subtilitas, quæ non modo acuere ingenia puerilia,
" sed exercere altissimam quoque eruditionem ac scientiam possit." QUINTIL.
lib I. cap. iv.
