     It is scarcely necessary to add that the four kinds of arguments which are generally used in rhetoric, the argumenta ad verecundiam, ad ignorantiam, ad hominem and ad judicium, are not distinguished by forms and processes of reasoning, but merely by the topic selected; so that in this use the word “argument” bears its proper meaning. This examination also explains how the word “topic”, which is substituted for τόπος or place, has become a synonym for “argument” — the rhetorical argument being found in the “common-place”, — and how it has come to pass that both words are used to denote the pith or marrow, the real contents, the subject-matter, the hypothesis or starting-point, of that which is discussed, argued, or even pictorially represented.
