Excerpt from George Meredith: A Study of His Works and Personality
With Meredith we climb to the Andes of the intellect, and the vastness of the prospect, the radiance of the sun illumining so many different intellectual kingdoms, atones for the touch of frost in the air. But the thin aether is a trial for weak hearts and lungs. Not all can scale these heights, still fewer can abide on these lone tablelands of intellect. Yet the hardened mountaineer will win full many a thrill of sudden discovery such as he can never gain in softer climes.

Excerpt from George Meredith: A Study of His Works and Personality
Nine years have passed since George Meredith was united again to Earth, the subject and the inspirer of so many of his finest pages, and it seems worth while to essay a considered judgment of his contribution to literature. The present writer has walked all round his subject and taken a Meredithian elevation from different points of view. He must now leave it to others to decide whether his judgments are correct.
To live in and with Meredith, to read and reread the eighteen or so volumes of four to five hundred pages that he has left us, is an ordeal as well as an experience, a discipline as well as a delight. It may result in the student's being swept into the Meredithian orbit to revolve as an obedient satellite around a more powerful luminary. One may be ever miscarrying with abortive epigram.
