Alsop, Virgil and Demosthenes are
generally known to have been STAN
merers, but how many others suffering
from the like infirmity occupy an hon
orable place in the historical gallery?
The first of these whom we can recall
is the prophet Moses. He, according
to tradition, was a stammerer whose
powers of speech were 50 limited that
his brother Aaron always accompanied
him, being specially commissioned to
speak in his name and stead.
II am not eloquent" protested
Moses, neither heretofore nor since
thou hast spoken unto thy servant, but
1 am Of slow speech and Of slow
tongue"
Claudius Michael H., emperor of the
east; Mohammed-el- RAISER, king of
Spain during the Moorish domination
and Eric, king of Sweden, stammered
pitiably.
Among the eighteen rulers of the
name of Louis who have reigned in
France we find only one, Louis lie Be
quo, although he was by no means the
only French sovereign, who stammered.
