STYLE.

LIZ.
What, then, is style?-the style
that is, which makes literature? He
has it not who writes grammatical
ly, for is it not one of the marks
of the stylist that he can on occa-
sion rise superior to grammar Nor
will mere logic serve his turn,
though this seems to be the opinion
of Herbert Spencer. A fact or a.
reflection may be presented to the
reader SO that each concept shall
enter his mind in its natural order,
so that there shall be no friction,
no waste, no needless mental wear
and tear, and yet he shall say of
the writer: "He is a good crafts
man, but no artist" Here we are
approaching the secret. Literary
style is an added grace, a superero-
gatory strength, over and above
what is demanded by the mere log
ic of expression. 1t is the result
of the writer's individual sense of
beauty and power in the colloca-
ton of words; and SO far, but so
far only. was Button right in say
ing: "Le style est 7 hou,me me-
me-" Careful training may enable.
any man to express himself as
clearly as Herbert Spencer on any
subject on which he is capable of
thinking clearly; but no amount of
training will teach him to give
sentence an epigrammatic barb, or,
a musical cadence. The stylist Of
ten attains his effects by purposely
disregarding that economy of the
readers attention which Mr.. Spen-.
Ger quite justly asserts to be the
cardinal law of composition. Guam
mnltd! guam banciS! is indeed the.
description of a good expository
style, but in pure literature we Of
ten find beauty in redundancy,
strength in pleonasm, charm in gar
rulity. When a writer has the art
OF keeping Our attention delightful
ly on the strain, we do not ask hinr
to spare it. Which of Mr.. Spen-
GERS canons has not Charles Lamb
for instance honored in the breach
rather than in the observance? YET
