of a keen insight into the weaknesses of human nature, especially as shown in the class that feels itself on a higher level than the mass,-into the follies of thinkers, the jealousies, pretensions, ambitions, envyings, disappointments of would-be leaders of thought, into the conceit, the vanity, the avidity for praise, of literary pretenders. Satire is necessarily the prevailing mood, but tempered by sympathy and pity for the victims of these qualities."-Sat. Rev., xlvii. 805.

14. Essays and Leaves from a Note-Book, 1884, p. 8vo. (Contains four articles from the Westminster Review, viz.: Silly Novels by Lady Novelists; German Wit; Natural History of German Life; Worldliness and OtherWorldliness: the Poet Young. Also, Three Months in Weimar, from Fraser's Magazine; Influence of Rationalism: Lecky's History, from the Fortnightly; Address to Workingmen, by Felix Holt, from Blackwood's Mag azine; Leaves from a Note-Book.)

"These essays will not add to the reputation of their author. It would be difficult to say that they stand prominently above the general average of such essays. They date from the period before Mr. Matthew Arnold had imported the method of Sainte-Beuve into English criticism, and in consequence they suffer by comparison with later work of a more subtle and artistic character."-Ath., No. 2939.

The "Cabinet Edition" of the works of George Eliot, 21 vols. cr. 8vo, contains the novels, poems, essays, and short stories, but not the translations. There are several uniform editions of the novels. A volume entitled "Wise, Witty, and Tender Sayings, in Prose and Verse, selected from the Works of George Eliot," was published in 1874 and has gone through seven editions.

GENERAL CRITICISM:

"Her whole work is imbued with ethical notions. The novel is, no less than the poem, a criticism of life; and the remarkable influence of George Eliot's novels has been mainly due to the consistent application of moral ideas to the problems set by each novel. Their stimulative effect was due to the fact that her ethical views were in consonance with some of the most advanced ideas of the age. The three chief principles which dominated her thinking were the reign of law in human affairs, the solidarity of society, and the constitution of society as incarnate history, (the phrase is Riehl's.) Flowing from these were the ethical laws which rule the world of her novels, the principle summed up in Novalis's words, 'Character is Fate,' the radiation of good and evil deeds throughout society, and the supreme claims of family or race. Add to these the scientific tone of impartiality, with its moral analogue, the extension of sympathy to all, and we have exhausted the idées mères of George Eliot's system, which differentiates her novels from all others of the age."-Ath., No. 2939.

"There will be more perfect novels and truer systems. But she has little rivalry to apprehend until philosophy inspires finer novels, or novelists teach nobler lessons of duty to masses of men. If ever science or religion reigns alone over an undivided empire, the books of George Eliot might lose their central and unique importance; but, as the emblem of a generation distracted between the intense need of believing and the difficulty of belief, they will live to the last syllable of recorded time. . . . In spite of all that is omitted, and of specific differences regarding the solemn questions of Conscience, Humility, and Death, there are few works in literature whose influence is so ennobling; and there were people divided from her in politics and religion by the widest chasm that exists on earth who felt at her death what was said of the Greek whom she had most deeply studied-σKÓTOV Elvaι TeOvηкóTOS."-LORD ACTON: Nineteenth Century, March, 1885.

"Neither Felix Holt,' nor 'Adam Bede,' nor Romola,' is a masterpiece. They have none of the inspiration, the traits, nor the essential simplicity of such a work. They belong to a kind of writing in which the English tongue has the good fortune to abound,-that clever, voluble, bright-colored novel of manners which began with the present century under the auspices of Miss Edgeworth and Miss Austen. George Eliot is stronger in degree than either of these, but she is not different in kind. She brings to her task a richer mind, but she uses it in much the same way. With a certain masculine comprehensiveness which they lack, she is eventually a feminine-a delightfully feminine-writer. She has the microscopic observation, not a myriad of whose keen notations are worth a single one of those great synthetic guesses with which a real master attacks the truth, and which, by their occasional occurrence in the stories of Mr. Charles Reade, (the muchabused 'Griffith Gaunt' included,) make him, to our mind, the most readable of living English novelists, and prove him a distant kinsman of Shakespeare."-H. JAMES, JR.: Nation, iii. 127.

"Nous ne pouvons nous empêcher de croire que George Eliot restera dans le roman anglais un phénomène isolé et qu'elle n'aura pas de successeurs et encore moins de disciples. L'impartialité qui est la qualité dominante de son intelligence est rarement propre à faire école. Elle

réalité est ouverte à tout le monde et d'autres pourront s'en inspirer comme George Eliot, mais ils ne relèveront pas d'elle pour cela, car ils ne pourront retrouver ni le même tact, ni la même mesure, ni la même probité d'observation, ni cette même curiosité patiente qui n'abandonne un phénomène que lorsqu'il a été suivi dans toutes ses phases et décrit avec une absolue précision."—ÉMILE MONTEGUT: Écrivains modernes de l'Angleterre, 176.

"Complete in all its parts, and strong in all, the nature of George Eliot is yet not one of those rare natures which without effort are harmonious. There is no impression this. No books bear more unmistakably the pain of moral made more decisively upon the readers of her books than conflict, and the pain of moral victory, only less bitter than that of defeat. Great forces warring with one another, a sorrowful and pathetic victory,-that is what we discern." E. DOWDEN: Studies in Literature, 258.

The

forces of our time, and seeing that she is a novelist, (for "Certain that she belongs to the foremost intellectual neither poems nor essays express her genius truly,) some are apt to decide that she stands in the very front rank of the artists of the modern world. That is surely to claim a great deal too much. Cervantes, Fielding, Scott, of course, stand immeasurably apart and above, by virtue of their wealth of imagination, their range of insight into manners, and sympathy with characters of every type. place of George Eliot wlll ultimately be found in the group where are set George Sand, Balzac, Jane Austen, Dickens, Thackeray, the Brontés. Judging her purely as an artist, we can hardly hope that her ultimate popularity will quite equal theirs. That she is immeasurably superior to them all as thinker, teacher, inspirer of thought and purifier of soul, will perhaps be little disputed. As facile creator of types, painter of varied character, veracious chronicler of manners, she has not their range, vivacity, irrepressible energy.. The inexhaustible charm of George Sand, the microscopic vivacity of Jane Austen, the pathetic oddities of Charles Dickens, the terrible Hogarthian pencil of Balzac and Thackeray, were all deliberately foregone by a novelist who read so deeply, who looked on life so profoundly, and who meditated so conscientiously as George Eliot."-FREDERIC HARRISON: Fortnightly Review, xliii. 316.

"There can be no doubt that George Eliot touched the highest point which, in a woman. has been reached in our literature. . . . The remarkable thing about George Eliot's genius is that though there is nothing at all unfeminine in it.-if we except a certain touch of scientific pedantry awkward manipulation of somewhat unfeminine learning, which is not pedantry in motive, but due only to a rather -its greatest qualities are not the least the qualities in which women have usually surpassed men, but rather the qualities in which, till George Eliot's time, women had always been notably deficient. Largeness of mind, largeness of conception, was her first characteristic, as regards both matters of reason and matters of imagination. Her own nature was evidently sedate and rather slowmoving, with a touch of Miltonic stateliness in it, and a love of elaboration at times even injurious to her genius. Yet no characters she ever drew were more powerful than those at the very opposite pole to her own... Her greatest stories lose in form by their too wide reflectiveness, and especially by an engrafted mood of artificial reflectiveness not suitable to her genius. She grew up under Thackeray's spell, and it is clear that Thackeray's satirical vein had too much influence over her from first to last, but especially in some of those earlier tales into which she threw a greater power of passion than any which she had to spare for the two great efforts of her last ten years.

George Eliot had no command of Thackeray's literary stiletto, and her substitute for it is unwieldy.. Imaginatively, we hardly recognize any defect in this great painter, except that there is too little movement in her stories: they wholly want dash, and sometimes want even a steady current. No novelist, however, in the whole series of English novelists, has combined so much power of painting external life on a broad canvas with so wonderful an insight into the life of the soul. . . . We should rank George Eliot second only in her own proper fieldwhich is not the field of satire-Thackeray's field-to Sir Walter Scott, and second to him only because her imagination, though it penetrates far deeper, had neither the same splendid vigour of movement nor the same bright serenity of tone."-Spectator, liv. 10.

"George Eliot is one of the few thinkers who can see the weakness of humanity, and the comparatively disappointing and mean nature of most objects of pursuit, without being driven by the violence of a common reaction into transcendental artifices. Nobody in her books is made to talk of rapture as a mood of happiness, or as the remedy for failure and the littleness of things. Practical resignation to the harshness and inflexibility of many of those conditions which are the material that a man has to make his life out of, and a sober, not ecstatic, resolution to seize such elements as remain, and force them into the pattery which we have chosen for ourselves,-this is a state of feeling and will which seems to count for a great deal more with her than any solace which can come of beatific visions and discourse of eternal, unspeakable aspirations. . Like Mr. Carlyle, too. in this, as in a great many other

by the authors to make this book of value to the art student, a little more care had been bestowed upon the illustrations. In these days, when so many admirable new processes of reproduction are in vogue, one can scarcely help feeling aggrieved at being offered such poor outline engravings as these."-MARY M.

"We have no doubt that in these two volumes is a great

-we were going to write an unparalleled record of the life and doings of the painter, well qualified to stand as a text-book and an honourable monument of the acumen. taste, and research of the authors. We are compelled to lament the absence of outline engravings or illustrations of any kind."-Ath., No. 3027.

"The solid merits of this work are not seriously affected by blemishes which are mostly superficial. It contains a vast mass of matter partly unpublished before, and the whole of this interesting subject is treated in a very wide and comprehensive manner."-J. H. MIDDLETON: Acad., xxvii. 443.

"Notwithstanding the irritating style in which it is written, notwithstanding the (in my opinion) wrong-headedness of many of the judgments expressed upon important questions, it is far more complete, far more suggestive, far more solid, than any other work on the subject."-Letter of W. M. Conway, giving an account of an examination of the "new Raphael literature" and a collection of 800 photographs of his pictures and drawings in the Berlin Museum: Acad., xxx. 157.
