The speaker respects the motivation of a transient event, and addresses the horde before him, to the individuals who can hear him, however the essayist, whose more equable life is his event, and who might be occupied by the occasion and the group which rouse the speaker, addresses the brains and heart of humanity, to all in any age who can comprehend him.
