In speaking of the ''style" of Stoddard one other most important feature should not be forgotten. I know of no writer of so-called "profane" literature of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries who uses the Bible so mucli, and so weU. The terse, vigorous, condensed power of this "well of undefiled English" was thor- oughly understood by Stoddard, and the draughts he makes upon it are amazing. California Classics Series 64 He unconsciously explains the reason in one of liis books where he says: ...''On leaving home, my mother's last injunction was to read daily some chapters of my Bible, and this I never failed to do. What solemn hours were mine, alone in my cramped state-room, poring over that wonderful volume, and every day I became more and more perplexed with its histories and mysteries!'' This early habit of Bible reading, and, as he calls it, "poring over it," stored his retentive memory with the most perfect phrases in the English language, which, later, transferred bodily to his writings, produced a wonderful effect.
