Usage: The verb consist is employed chiefly for two purposes,
which are marked and distinguished by the prepositions
used. When we wish to indicate the parts which unite
to compose a thing, we use of; as when we say,
“Macaulay's Miscellanies consist chiefly of articles
which were first published in the Edinburgh Review.”
When we wish to indicate the true nature of a thing,
or that on which it depends, we use in; as,
“There
are some artists whose skill consists in a certain
manner which they have affected.” “Our safety
consists in a strict adherence to duty.”
[1913 Webster]
