Few people think and talk with pre-
cision and in logical order, even OF
the men whose trained intellectual
ability is made manifest in their delib
crate writing. In dictated judicial
opinions and legal documents there
now often appear redundancy, com
pleXity of thought and carelessness OF
expression, of which the burden of in
depreciation is great, and sometimes
the separation OF the wheat from the
chaff is next 10 impossible. Moreover
we discover in many contemporary
literary productions. books and what
not, like evidences that they were die
tated by men who had not mastered
the art. The difference between
written and dictated work is made ap
parent in the absence of anything like
individuality of literary style and in a
machine-like uniformity in which
there is no more literary style than in
an ordinary commercial letter.-New
