Go listen to some Teddy Roosevelt speeches, blown away by the clarity and fluency. Or the Cross of Gold audio snippets.
Prepared speeches don't really count; they're basically reading written prose. I'd be interested to hear actual conversations from Victorian times. I wonder if they are anything like how we write them in TV shows and movies.
