Excerpt from The Historical Works of Hubert Howe Bancroft
His style is at once vigorous and suave descending now with Hume into the pro fundities of philosophic thought; now soaring with, Ruskin into the realms of poetic fancy, or breaking forth frequently with the unmistakable brilliancy of genius. He shows ability in depicting the beauties of nature, and in portraying character and motive. Nor does he fail in the subtleties of sarcasm; and in the use of classic allusions he shows a prudence admirably distinct from the aflectation of mere sippers at the Pierian fountains. Though precise like Gibbon, he avoids his formality; though massive, he rounds his acute stateliness. America may well be proud of her western historian, who must take his place with the foremost of the age. - Sacrament0 Record Union.
