[152.1] ἕξις, ἦθος, ἔθος, with which again St. Paul agrees, Heb. v. 14, where Aristotle’s favourite word is used. [173.1] It is interesting here to observe how Aristotle, concurring with Homer (_Od._ xiii. 289), makes the distinction, unquestionably just, through the neglect of which Burke fell into his notable error that beautiful things are always small. He ought to have known that there is the same distinction between _beautiful_ and _pretty_ in English, as between καλός and ἀστεῖος in Greek. [181.1] The scholar will observe that throughout this passage, and specially in this last sentence, I have paraphrased the author a little, to bring out more clearly his meaning. His style is too curt and bald, not to suffer in some cases by strict literalness. [184.1] Grant’s _Ethics of Aristotle_, vol. i. p. 147.
