Joseph Henry Jackson, longtime book reviewer (for either the NYTimes or the
SFChronicle; can't remember which since we took both when we lived in
Berkeley) used this type of construction so much that it became a
parodiable trait.
"What makes this book so remarkable is the splendid quality of the writing"
reappeared in various guises over and over  in his reviews.
