He saw always, at once and as if by intuition, the pivotal point of every controversy on which the conclu- sion was sure to swing, and, disdaining all artifice and discarding all incident or accident surroundings, moved straight upon it and enveloped it with a merciless logic. Every link in the chain of his reasoning was sound and clean, developed with a marvelous sim
...plicity as clear as it was strong. There was no escape from the deadly sequence of his thought, add his masterful capacity lay in his power to compel conviction, to force surrender.
