^ From ^^™ ^^^ ^^" ^_^^^P^™ ^ Messrs ^^V...
humour and delicious humour—Mr . Stockton probably could not help being amusing if he
were to try—but it is less extravagant and grotesque than usual , and more genuinely human . It does not so much _ spring _ ^— — ^ out _ of
absurd situations as from the unaffected oddities of the characters . The book , like most of Mr . Stockton ' booksis perfectly
tranquil . He is one of the few America , n humourists who can begin and end a story quietly . Mark Twain can begin with an air of deliberate
composure ; but he generally ends in a shriek . Mr . Stockton is more self-possessed ; and in this self-possession ' Ardis Claverden' is

their lives to religious teaching . These addresses show him at his best . They are lucid and eloquent , and very mines of wisdom . One
of the chief attractions of the book is that it is not in any way rhetorical . The thought needs no factitious bolstering up ; words are
never used for purposes of mere decoration . proclaims The preacher it simpl has h y a and truth dire to ctl proclaim y f yet - ^^ r with , and i great BVBfc he
