CHAPTEE  X.
 

ARGUMENT.
 

Socrates also sought to be useful to artists and mechanics, by conversing
with them in regard to their employments:

1.  Painting consists not merely in copying exactly all the objects that
come within the circle of vision; even the highest beauty of the human
figure is not found in any one individual, but must be consummated by
the union of all the separate beauties of different persons, with the emo¬
tions expressed in the eyes, countenance, and the whole mien (§ 1—5).

2.  In statuary, not only must the motions of the body be imitated,
but thoughts and feelings designated in such a manner, that the statue
shall seem to be endowed with life (§ 6—8).

3.  With Pistias, he conversed upon the manner of constructing the
breast-plate, so that it would best protect the body, with the least im¬
pediment to its free and easy motion (§ 9—16).
