Now, when delivery comes into fashion, it will
have the same effect as acting. Some writers have attempted to say a few words
about it, as Thrasymachus, in his Eleoi1; and in fact, a gift for acting
is a natural talent and depends less upon art, but in regard to style it is
artificial. Wherefore people who excel in this in their turn obtain prizes, just
as orators who excel in delivery; for written speeches owe their effect not so
much to the sense as to the style.
