    It
    consists,
    then,
    in
    a
    correspondence
    which
    we
    seek
    to
    establish
    between
    the
    head
    and
    the
    heart
    of
    those
    to
    whom
    we
    speak,
    on
    the
    one
    hand,
    and,
    on
    the
    other,
    between
    the
    thoughts
    and
    the
    expressions
    which
    we
    employ.
    This
    assumes
    that
    we
    have
    studied
    well
    the
    heart
    of
    man
    so
    as
    to
    know
    all
    its
    powers
    and,
    then,
    to
    find
    the
    just
    proportions
    of
    the
    discourse
    which
    we
    wish
    to
    adapt
    to
    them.
    We
    must
    put
    ourselves
    in
    the
    place
    of
    those
    who
    are
    to
    hear
    us,
    and
    make
    trial
    on
    our
    own
    heart
    of
    the
    turn
    which
    we
    give
    to
    our
    discourse
    in
    order
    to
    see
    whether
    one
    is
    made
    for
    the
    other,
    and
    whether
    we
    can
    assure
    ourselves
    that
    the
    hearer
    will
    be,
    as
    it
    were,
    forced
    to
    surrender.
    We
    ought
    to
    restrict
    ourselves,
    so
    far
    as
    possible,
    to
    the
    simple
    and
    natural,
    and
    not
    to
    magnify
    that
    which
    is
    little,
    or
    belittle
    that
    which
    is
    great.
    It
    is
    not
    enough
    that
    a
    thing
    be
    beautiful;
    it
    must
    be
    suitable
    to
    the
    subject,
    and
    there
    must
    be
    in
    it
    nothing
    of
    excess
    or
    defect.……
