Part 37 (2/2)

”The style is excellent; sound, honest, forcible, singularly perspicuous English; at times with a sort of picturesque simplicity, pictures dashed off with only a few touches, but perfectly alive ... We have never to read a pa.s.sage twice.... We see the course of events day by day, not only the more serious and important communications, but the gossip of the hour....

If truth and vivid reality be the perfection of history, much is to be said in favor of this mode of composition.”-_London Quarterly._
