HOW GREAT MEN PREPARE THEIR SPEECHES . —It is the knowledge tbat infirmities of memory \ md lapses of mental grip are common to tho great as well as to the small , whioh impels tho noblest orator sometimes to fall back upon the crutch of the cripple and to fortify himself with a manuscript . A member of Parliament is not supposed to read his speech , but for all that , a timid speaker frequently does ,
and his MS . finds its way into tbe Reporters' Gallery before he has uttered his first word . Sir Charles Dilke and Mr . John Morley always used to commit thoir a-lihe ^ ses to willing , but in delivering them th"y introduced colli quinlisiiis whioh mado ibem acceptable to audiences , whose attention is , as is well known , best retained by an extemport * speaker . Lattorly the late Chief Secretary for Ireland
has been less prodigal in the employment of munnsoript . Tho present Earl Derby writes his speeches for the press occasionally , in tbe same way that Burke handed down to posterity six of bis most important orations , all the others , for the want of such record , not having been prf-served . To write out one ' s speeches word for wordus in the days of Demosthenes and of Cicero , whose practice was
followed b y Macaolayand tbe late Lord Ellenborongh—has one distinct modern advantage . It saves misreportinp . In theso times of publicity speeches uro often made not for the limited patherings to which thoy are actually spoken , but for the world at large . For this reason the carefully-phrased answers by ministers to qnostions put in the House of Commons are customarily written and thou read , and so also are technical judgments in tbo law courts . Tho politician who
wants to please adepts the same plan , because he knows that what is excellent when delivered very often does not read well . The Marqnis of Dufferin gave the students of St . Andrew ' s University some valuable hints npon the preparation of speeches . Mr . Bright , he says , made-no secret that he wrote orit tho exordium and tbo peroration of his speeches , and Lord Brougham himself declared that ho wrote ont tbe Jast paragraphs of defence of Qneen Caroline nine times . Lord Dufferin states that when Lord Pulinerstou asked him
to move the Address to tho Throne in the House of Lords on the assembling of Parliament after the death of Prince Albert , ho then folt that were he to trust to the inspiration of the moment , or to such perfunctory methods of preparation as are generally adopted , ho might fail to give adequate expression to his feelings . Therefore he sat down , wrote every word of his speech , and learned it carefully
by heart , so that , although it lasted one hour and ahalf , he got throngh it without accident to the end , and without having looked at hia notes . Manuscript speeeches have been handed to the reporters , interlarded with " cheers , " nud then have not been delivered after all . Lord Beaconsfield onco , too , in passing an euloginm on the Duke of Wellington , repeated as a speech a couple of pages of a
well-known author . A worse thing happened when , as Lord Dufferin relates , on the authority of the practical joker himself , a gentleman came down to' the House of Commons primed with a great oration ; but the unfortunatel y dropped his MS . A mischievous colleague picked it up , and brought it to Sir Thomas Wyse , who forthwith retired to a Committee-room and learned it by heart . Then , returning to the House , he joined in the debate . A great nnmber of people had beeu
let into the secret , and were watching the effect produced by the " stolen thunder " upon its rightful proprietor . At first ho showed signs of being pleased with support from so unexpected a qurter , but when graduall y he recognised his own well-polished periods flowing forth from alien lips , tho look of surprise , indignation and confusion which passed over his countenance was extremely comical . — Oassell's Saturday Journal .
The annual meeting of fche Provincial Grand Lodge of Susaex will take place at the Royal Pavilion , Brighton , on Thursday , 22 nd October . Sir W . T . Marriott , M . P ., will preside .
