592. CHARACTERISTICS OF II IS GREAT SPEECH. 231 artificiality about the more ambitious passages which makes them unpleasant reading, yet which may not have marred their effect on delivery. They are in Sheridan's peculiar style ; the style which predomi- nates alike in his comedies and his other speeches ; the greatest artifice being displayed in the collocation of words, but the perfect art, which effaces the marks of the file, being often absent. With almost unrivalled skill, he could turn an ...epigram and barb a phrase with satire. This was his distinguishing gift, as that of Rochefoucauld was to write maxims. Had Roche- foucauld tried to rival Bossuet as a writer of funeral (nations he would have failed as completely as Sheri- dan did when he strove to outdo Burke in figurative rhetoric, lavish imagery, and impassioned declamation. Common sense and close reasoning, not vapid rhetoric and bad taste, predominate in this famous oration. In t he current version there are but few quotations ; whereas the correct report contains a series of apt and telling extracts from the evidence, arranged in the most skilful manner, connected and illustrated by appropriate remarks and comments.
