lays the
foundation
of his
stile
empes?e,
which is
then
carried to
perfection
by the use
of
high-flown,
pompous
expressions
to
communicate
the
simplest
things,
and other
artifices
of the

In those
long
sentences
rich in
involved
parenthesis,
like a box
of boxes
one within
another,
and padded
out like
roast
geese
stuffed
with
apples, it
is really
the memory
that is
chiefly
taxed;
while it
is the
understanding
and the
judgment
