Forms

A long table, and a square table, or a seat about the walls, seem things of form, but are things of substance: for at a long table a few at the upper end, in effect, sway all the business; but in the other form there is more use of the counsellors’ opinions that sit lower.

Those forms are best which have been longest received and authorized in a nation by custom and use.
