Dickens, "a Tale of Two Cities"--"It was the Best of times; it was the worst
of times; ... In short--the period was so far like the present period that
some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or
for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only."

It's perfectly grammatical, however, Sue. Nothing
wrong with a long sentence every now and then,
although my husband prefers short ones for conveying
information and for not confusing people. I've found
at least one book, and I can't remember the author,
where the whole first paragraph and page it was on was
one sentence. Perfectly correct, not a run-on in terms
of being more than one sentence stuck together. I
wonder if it was Dickens in a Tale of two Cities. Or
maybe it was James Fennimore Cooper's Last of the
Mohicans.
