1. Compare Richard Robinson’s splendid description of his personal reaction to Aristotle’s style (Aristotle’s Politics, Books III and IV, Oxford, 1962, pp. xxvii–xxx). He remarks inter alia: ‘… unlike most people, I really enjoy it… Aristotle’s style is… dense, tightlipped and sketchy…. His style is beautiful.’

2. On the other categories of Aristotle’s works, see page 32 footnote 3 and page 34, footnote 2.
