Institutio Oratoria

It is for this reason that memory forms the fourth department. But a delivery, which is rendered unbecoming cither by voice or gesture, spoils everything and almost entirely destroys the effect of what is said. Delivery therefore must be assigned the fifth place.

Those (and Albutins is among them), who maintain that there are only three departments on the ground that memory and delivery (for which I shall give instructions in their proper place [*](Book II. claps. ii. and iii.) ) are given us by nature not by art, may be disregarded, although Thrasymachus held the same views as regards delivery.
