France has produced two orators who are often compared with Demosthen...es : Mirabeau in the forum, and Bossuet in the pulpit. The speeches of both contain those elements of pas- sion and power which characterize the orations of the Athen- ian orator. Intense religious and political excitement gave both the necessary opportunity. When Mirabeau appeared in the French Assembly, he hurled defiance and scorn on the nobility and King, as Demosthenes had done against Philip; and he roused the people to the same passionate fury ; he ac- tually goaded them to madness by his eloquent recital of their wrongs and his vehement denunciation of their rulers.
