Miss Anna Dickinson has a voice of great power; it is monotonous but endures full and strong to the end of a long lecture. Her forte is argumentative declamation. She put the case of the national authority to deal as it deems best with the Rebel States very strongly.
Conversation ought habitually to be frank and easy but earnest and dignified.
