DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Mountaineer, Vol. 6: May, 1899 The literary qualities of Burke are above all praise. Though we are told that he wrote rapidly, not a line dropped from his pen but what bore the striking impress of his powerful mind; and, in truth, he can hardly be said to have written a single page without communicating to the most enlightened reader something new, either in thought or illustration. Wisdom and eloquence, which others attain with labor, were in him the habitual and ordinary march of his ideas. Whence his style constantly exhibits such a superabundance of argument and imagery that while our attention is pursuing the track of his reason ing, we are in danger of losing ourselves amidst the various beauties which it is enforced and embellished.
