      As ?ometimes, with us, a que?tion is put deri?ively, in the form of an a??ertion, when the propo?er conceives, as ?eems to have happened here, ?ome ab?urdity in the thing, I thought it be?t, after the example of ?o many Lat[in] interpreters, to adopt the equivocal, or rather the oblique, form of the original expre??ion. The ambiguity is not real, but apparent.
