What is to be the salutation Fellow
citizens is too cold; moreover, citizen has
acquired masculine limitation, so much

French Revolution the distinction of cit

closer the stump orator can bring himself
to his audience, the better; the formal
'ladies and gentlemen" for beginning

temperature of a lecture. 1t will be very
necessary to learn, before attempting

Her advances failed to meet with the
