Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 103, August 6, 1892 Their speeches are not deficient in a suitable exordium, a clear narrative, a well-founded argument, and a pathetic peroration; and usually abound in parables and apologues; which sometimes furnish the main substance of the discourse. A General History and Collection of Voyages and Travels - Volume 05 Arranged in Systematic Order: Forming a Complete History of the Origin and Progress of Navigation, Discovery, and Commerce, by Sea and Land, from the Earliest Ages to the Present Time This statement is not a peroration to a declaration for Socialism.

Septimus Sir Charles Dilke never made a fine sentence or a sonorous peroration in his whole life. Sketches in the House (1893) And when at last she forgot herself, and clapped her hand enthusiastically, it was not at the glorious peroration of the orator—but at the perfection of her own little plot! The Missing Bride To understand fully the tremendous daring of this peroration, one must turn to the passage of Hebrew prophecy which it cites and applies to Charles Stuart. The Life of John Milton, Volume 5 (of 7), 1654-1660 The peroration which followed made an irresistible appeal to a people always mindful of the glories of the relief of Derry. Ulster's Stand For Union Its peroration is of peculiar interest, since it consists of a funny story. Lincoln's Inaugurals, Addresses and Letters (Selections) But at last he is approaching the peroration. Sketches in the House (1893) The most satisfactory thing in Mr. Simonds’ lecture last night was the peroration, in which he told the audience that ‘an artist cannot be made.’ Miscellanies He omits the passage about Coniah precisely because its application to Charles is unfortunately no longer possible; and the peroration for the rest is modified by the sorrow that so it should be.

The Life of John Milton, Volume 5 (of 7), 1654-1660 "Is this exordium or peroration, my dear fellow?"

The Siege of Kimberley It was not so much a peroration as an appeal, a message, a benediction. Sketches in the House (1893) Meantime, in this peroration I have sought to outline what Haydn did. Haydn Not a brilliant oration in any way; neither exordium nor peroration, and the middle occasionally a little mixed. Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 100, June 20, 1891 Will laugh immoderately at feeblest joke uttered by CHANCELLOR; cheers to the echo his moral sentiments; sits enraptured when he soars into eloquence; and is undisguisedly grateful when he has completed his peroration.

The Reign of Andrew Jackson And this morning everybody felt, and he himself knew, that all previous perorations were to be surpassed. The Matador of the Five Towns and Other Stories Finally, the speech ended in a lofty, splendid, and impressive peroration. Sketches in the House (1893) Sydney Smith's peroration, though it failed to persuade his brother-clergy, is so good that it deserves to be reproduced.— Sydney Smith But the famous passage beginning "peaceable secession," which came straight from the heart, and the peroration also, have the glowing eloquence which shone with so much splendor all through the reply to Hayne. Daniel Webster In his peroration he rose to the occasion, and amid breathless silence, facing the court, who quailed before him, demanded whether this was a temple of justice. A Texas Matchmaker It was the signal that he had arrived at his peroration. The Matador of the Five Towns and Other Stories But the wind carries me some phrases, louder shouted, of his peroration.

The Last Leaf Observations, during Seventy-Five Years, of Men and Events in America and Europe This was the exordiam, body, and peroration of his address, and it struck his audience so ludicrously, that a laugh spread among them, until it became general, and all seemed in the best possible humor. The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 01, No. 07, May, 1858 With your wordy perorations, And your peaceful proclamations, While you grind the nation's manhood in your military mill. Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 99, October 4, 1890 But Angus's peroration was lost in a storm of applause. All in It : K(1) Carries On A Continuation of the First Hundred Thousand Doc always was a pretty noisy preacher, but he began work on that head with soft-pedal-tremolo-stop preaching and wound up with a peroration like a steamboat explosion. Old Gorgon Graham More Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son They were discussing the depressing peroration of the lecture they had just heard, the last lecture it was in the introductory course in zoology. The Country of the Blind, and Other Stories Neither spoke after this, and presently the Earl of Warwick having come to his peroration, the matter was adjourned till the next day. Chivalry It is Charlotte feebly echoing Emily, and going more and more wrong up to her peroration. The Three Brontës And he spurted on at a mad pace, with a hurried voice, forgetting the devices he had thought of to prolong the peroration, dumping them out all in a heap—anything to get through! The Torrent Entre Naranjos As might be surmised from a perusal of this effort, his peroration is rarely in keeping with the main portion of his oration. A Williams Anthology A Collection of the Verse and Prose of Williams College, 1798-1910 Anyhow, she said in peroration, it was atrocious to discourage her by laughing at the best she could do. Figures of Earth The peroration is noble and dignified, in the orator's best style. Cicero Ancient Classics for English Readers In the storm of applause that burst upon the dramatic peroration of the ex-district attorney, a man rose from the center of the stage semicircle and lumbered heavily forward to the footlights. The Grafters This may be likened to both the exordium and peroration of a discourse, including as well the last as the first general idea.

Through the Wall It was, indeed, a somewhat somnolent discourse, and his audience hardly seemed to wake up till he reached his peroration, which closed with a telling quotation from Oliver Goldsmith. A Tale of One City: the New Birmingham Papers Reprinted from the "Midland Counties Herald" He habitually constructs a piece of what should be calm, dispassionate narrative, upon the model of the most passionate peroration—adhering in numberless instances to precisely the same specific formula of artifice. Famous Reviews Hawk's speech was merely introductory, and it was nearing its peroration. The Grafters In the above translation of Varchi's peroration I have endeavoured to sustain those long-winded periods of which he was so perfect and professed a master. The Life of Michelangelo Buonarroti Too fond in perorations of drawing metaphors from Welsh physical geography. Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 156, Jan. 8, 1919 At this moment I can recollect almost word for word the stirring and eloquent peroration with which Mr. Bright closed his first address to his Birmingham constituents. A Tale of One City: the New Birmingham Papers Reprinted from the "Midland Counties Herald" The foundations of his theory which ought to be buttresses of adamant, are made out of the flimsy materials which are fit only for perorations. Famous Reviews And all the perorations must be adapted to excite pity. The Orations of Marcus Tullius Cicero, Volume 4 A proper conclusion to this chapter may be borrowed from the peroration of Varchi's discourse upon the philosophical love-poetry of Michelangelo. The Life of Michelangelo Buonarroti The middle of Lloyd George's speech has got mixed up with Balfour's peroration. Essays in Rebellion That, Mr. Lorry," said Mr. Cruncher, wiping his forehead with his arm, as an announcement that he had arrived at the peroration of his discourse, "is wot I would respectfully offer to you, sir. A Tale of Two Cities So,' said Mr Boffin, by way of peroration, 'wishing you well in the way you go, we now conclude with the observation that perhaps you'll go it.' Our Mutual Friend And this will be the course of both of them especially in the peroration. The Orations of Marcus Tullius Cicero, Volume 4 He might be asked, he observed in a peroration of great power, what were his principles?

David Copperfield We have the text, but not the sermon; the Preface ends abruptly with an almost clumsy peroration. Biographical Study of A.W. Kinglake If, said Mr Wegg by way of peroration, he had erred in saying only 'Halves!' he trusted to his comrade, brother, and partner not to hesitate to set him right, and to reprove his weakness. Our Mutual Friend C. F. The end of the oration remains to be spoken of by you; and that is included in the peroration, which I wish to hear you explain? The Orations of Marcus Tullius Cicero, Volume 4 This peroration usually carried her half-way back across the hall, leaving the girls to return to their interrupted activities. Summer At last the lecture came to an end—I am inclined to think that it was a premature one, as the peroration was hurried and disconnected. The Lost World The sustaining sparkle of their gaze lifted him to a peroration unrivalled in his own recollection of himself. The Damnation of Theron Ware The Father added more in a similar strain; but the peroration of his harangue is not on record. France and England in North America; a Series of Historical Narratives — Part 3 C. P. The explanation of the peroration is easy; for it is divided into two parts, amplification and enumeration. The Orations of Marcus Tullius Cicero, Volume 4 Fragments of his peroration floated through her bewildered brain.... Summer His open countenance, democratic manners, and pungent speech produced a most favorable impression, and it was undeniable that, for the moment at least, he had the house with him when he swung into his peroration. Captivating Mary Carstairs That peroration is from an old sermon of mine, in the days when I used to preach. The Damnation of Theron Ware Larkin, Esq., delivered this peroration from a moral elevation, all the loftier that he had a peer of the realm on his side. Wylder's Hand But this style is not to be maintained long; I do not mean in the peroration which it concludes, but in the other divisions of the speech. The Orations of Marcus Tullius Cicero, Volume 4 Mr. Waddington was gratified by Mr. Hitchin's appearance, too, and he thought he would insert some expression of that feeling in his peroration. Mr. Waddington of Wyck Thus ended the peroration of an harangue consisting of an incoherent arrangement of imperfectly-remembered facts and misunderstood principles; all gleaned by his Highness from the enlightening articles of the Reisenburg journals.
