Excerpt from The Ethics of George Eliot's Works

Herewith is offered to the American public a reprint of "the pretty little book" to which George Eliot refers in a letter addressed to Mr. John Blackwood, of the Edinburgh publishing firm, on the 28th of June, 1879. Here are her words:

"Thank you for sending me the pretty little book. I am deeply touched by the account of its origin, and I remember well everything you said to me of Mr. Brown in old days when he was still with you. I had only cut a very little way into the volume when a friend came and carried it off; but my eyes had already been arrested by some remarks on the character of Harold Transome (pp. 28-30), which seemed to me more penetrating and finely felt than almost anything I have read in the way of printed comment on my own writing. When my friend brings back the volume I shall read it reverentially, and most probably with a sense of being usefully admonished. For praise and sympathy arouse much more self-suspicion and sense of short-coming than all the blame and depreciation of all the Pepins."
