Even Wendell Phillips would pace his room the night before the delivery of an oration, reading over his manuscript for practice; and on this manuscript could be seen the marks he had made, showing where to lay his accents and where to make his gestures.

The fact that Mr. Cohn is the mover in this new enterprise answers for its success; - in fact the French department never seems to do anything unsuccessful.
