Grammar
Rhetoric
Logic
Music
Astronomy
Mathematics
Divination

Edit: I am sure of Grammar, Rhetoric and Logic but the remaining 4 I'm not sure about.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Theology not divination.  :)
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Still wrong though.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Well, theology has no place in that list since the 7 liberal arts were a product of pagan, not Christian writers.

Grammar
Rhetoric
Logic
Music
Astronomy
Mathematics

Now, this looks right but I can't remember for the love of God the 7th...

Mathematics is not one of them.  Though there are two that are considered in the field of mathematics.

Aritmetics (sp?) and geometry?

Yeah, how could I forget the Greek obsession for geometry?

What me? Why answer the question if you are unwilling to ask one?

Anyway.

The question is.

"What was Johnson's nickname for Boswell?"
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."

Because there has only been one famous Johnson in the entire history of man, right?

Way to go, Cal.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
