Who, then, has displayed more dignity as a panegyrist? more severity as an accuser? more ingenuity in the turn of his sentiments? or more neatness and address in his narratives and explanations? Let us select from these what deserves our notice and applause: they will supply us with all the graces of Oratory.
Llewelyn Davies was the unfortunate President on this occasion, and mentions that my brother commemorated the scene in a 'heroic ballad' which has disappeared. From the minutes of the Society 'I learn further details of this historic scene. His panegyrist made 'such violent interruptions' that a motion was made for his expulsion, but carried by an insufficient majority.
Until they were dressed properly there was no admittance to the stranger. That showed on the whole a good feeling of pride: but sometimes Bulgarian sensitiveness to criticism and desire to appear grand was a little trying. I suppose, however, it is natural in a "new" people. In most things, however, the Bulgarian is intensely practical. That sturdy panegyrist of the Bulgars, Mr.
Having arrived thus far, the panegyrist breaks out into eulogy of "the grandest hero of free-thought," and claims for Bruno the proud distinction of materialist.

Men therefore asked with some impatience why the panegyrist of the uncle should oppose the supremacy of the nephew; and the action of the crowd in smashing the historian's windows after his great speech against the war of 1870 cannot be called wholly illogical, even if it erred on the side of Gallic vivacity. In the feverish drama of French politics Time sometimes brings an appropriate Nemesis.
When all is said of his dogmatism, his petulance, his "evil behaviour," he remains the master spirit of his time, its Censor, as Macaulay is its Panegyrist, and Tennyson its Mirror. He has saturated his nation with a wholesome tonic, and the practice of any one of his precepts for the conduct of life is ennobling.
The merits of M. de Tressan were therein celebrated with grace and delicacy. The panegyrist identified himself with his subject. A select public loaded with praises various passages wherein just and profound ideas were clothed in all the richness of a forcible and harmonious style. Did any one ever speak with more eloquence of the scientific power revealed by a contemporary discovery!
