My writings for presentations that I read include way way more commas. But no semicolons; as in speech they don't really differ from either comma or period.
But that's how the 18th century English was written. For reading out loud. I had fun with comparing Cormac McCarthy and Herman Melville in this regard. Two separate worlds.
