beside him； and He who was standing beside him had feet of brass
and hair like fine wool。 And He raised the Hermit up； and said to
him： 'Before this time thou hadst the perfect knowledge of God。
Now thou shalt have the perfect love of God。 Wherefore art thou
weeping？' And he kissed him。
Footnotes：
（1） Plato's LAWS； AEschylus' PROMETHEUS BOUND。
（2） Somewhat in the same spirit Plato； in his LAWS； appeals to the
local position of Ilion among the rivers of the plain； as a proof
that it was not built till long after the Deluge。
（3） Plutarch remarks that the ONLY evidence Greece possesses of the
truth that the legendary power of Athens is no 'romance or idle
story；' is the public and sacred buildings。 This is an instance of
the exaggerated importance given to ruins against which Thucydides
is warning us。
（4） The fictitious sale in the Roman marriage PER COEMPTIONEM was
originally； of course； a real sale。
（5） Notably； of course； in the case of heat and its laws。
（6） Cousin errs a good deal in this respect。 To say； as he did；
'Give me the latitude and the longitude of a country； its rivers
and its mountains； and I will deduce the race；' is surely a glaring
exaggeration。
（7） The monarchical； aristocratical； and democratic elements of the
Roman constitution are referred to。

（17） Polybius resembled Gibbon in many respects。 Like him he held
that all religions were to the philosopher equally false； to the
vulgar equally true； to the statesman equally useful。

（19） Polybius； xxii。 8。
（20） I mean particularly as regards his sweeping denunciation of
the complete moral decadence of Greek society during the
Peloponnesain War； which； from what remains to us of Athenian
literature； we know must have been completely exaggerated。 Or；
rather； he is looking at men merely in their political dealings：
and in politics the man who is personally honourable and refined
will not scruple to do anything for his party。
