The transition from argument to the other means of persuasion, from _probare_ or _docere_ to _conciliare_ and _movere_, is the caveat of Antonius against the current division of cases into general and particular[44] as a capital error. Theoretically every particular case must have general relations; practically, if oratory is not to lapse into mere accumulation of details, the orator must have the habit of bringing these general relations to bear. Antonius adds the further caveat that the whole system of the _status_ is merely analytical. It is logical; and logic shows only how to judge arguments, not how to find them.[45] The sources of arguments (_sedes argumentorum_)[46] are therefore more important. As to _conciliare_ and _movere_[47] Cicero says only the usual things, perhaps because _inventio_ in these aspects is rather to be promoted by exhortation than imparted by new categories. Men take a decision oftener through feeling than through fact or law.[48] They are moved by evidences of character in the speaker and in his client.[49] Orators must have a scent for an audience, for what people are feeling, thinking, waiting for, wishing. To arouse feeling, the orator must have it himself.[50] He need not feign it; it arises naturally from his imaginative sympathy, as on the stage.[51] Emotional appeal is not to be made suddenly; it is to be led up to and down from;[52] and it demands full force of delivery.[53] The only way to rebut feeling is by feeling. Cicero adds the usual sections on wit and humor.[54] The treatment of _dispositio_[55] gives little specific counsel toward the achievement of that sequence in which Cicero himself excelled. In general, _dispositio_ has to consider: how to make the most of the stronger points without seeming to slur the weaker; whether the case will prevail more readily through argument or through appeal, through direct proof or through refutation; how to cover retreat at need by making sure that the case, if it cannot be won, shall at least not be damaged. [To translate this doctrine into the terms of modern manuals, the first general consideration of _dispositio_ is emphasis, both as proportion of space and as progressive iteration of main points.]
