When I see antiquity held in such reverence that to omit other instances the mere fragment of some ancient statue is often bought at a great price in order that the purchaser may keep it by him to adorn his house or to have it copied by those who take delight in this art and how these again strive with all their skill to imitate it in their various works and when on the other hand I find those noble labours which history shows to have been wrought on behalf of the monarchies and republics of old times by kings captains citizens lawgivers and others who have toiled for the good of their country rather admired than followed nay so absolutely renounced by every one that not a trace of that antique worth is now left among us I cannot but at once marvel and grieve at this inconsistency and all the more because I perceive that in civil disputes between citizens and in the bodily disorders into which men fall recourse is always had to the decisions and remedies pronounced or prescribed by the ancients For the civil law is no more than the opinions delivered by the ancient jurisconsults which being reduced to a system teach the jurisconsults of our own times how to determine while the healing art is simply the recorded experience of the old physicians on which our modern physicians found their practice And yet in giving laws to a commonwealth in maintaining States and governing kingdoms in organizing armies and conducting wars in dealing with subject nations and in extending a State s dominions we find no prince no republic no captain and no citizen who resorts to the example of the ancients
