Excerpt from Essays and Reviews of George Eliot Not Hitherto Reprinted, Together With an Introductory Essay on the Genius of George Eliot

It is said that George Eliot spent years of her literary life in translating, and in writing review articles, before she ventured upon a creation of her own. Her first appearance as an author was made in "Blackwood's Magazine." She there published three stories of English rural life, called "Scenes in Clerical Life." Their literary merit was at once acknowledged; but they did not attract the attention which they merited until she had made herself famous in her second work, "Adam Bede."

Perhaps no book of fiction, since the days of the Great Unknown, has attracted so much attention, and been the subject of such universal discussion, as this first novel by George Eliot. Before the nom de plume had vanished in the light of eager inquiry, she was claimed as a man by men, and as a woman by women. She seems to us to be the only woman, in all the wide range of fictitious literature, who has drawn a genuine, manly man - one who is manly in his faults as well as in his virtues.

It seems given to the noblest and most gifted of each sex to possess so large and inclusive a humanity, as to be a representative of both man and woman. Where do we find a more exquisite tenderness, tact, and refinement, than in the highest type of a man; and where a more noble courage, a deeper sense of truth and honor, than in the noblest of women
