Speeches of praise (8)
I believe the answer is:
eulogies
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">speeches of praise</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for eulogies that I've seen before include "Speeches praising someone highly" , "Speeches in praise of a person" , "Speeches or writings in praise (8)" , "'Encomiums, paeans (8)'" , "plaudits" .)
