Style Of her work it may be said as she says of the writings of Marie de l'Incarnation, "it possesses rare excellence in a literary point of view, and as a historical record is unsurpassed for clearness and accuracy. The style is delicate and spiritual, while forcible and consistent; the work is marked by a keenness of perception, a subtle grasp of points at issue, an attention to detail, and a breadth of thought embracing the whole extent of what lies before it."
