Evidence

"Finished my 2nd Volume this morning, and am going to send off the M.S. of the 1st vol. tomorrow. We have decided that the title shall be "The Mill on the Floss". We have been reading "Humphrey Clinker" in the evenings and have been much disappointed in it, after the praises of Thackeray and Dickens. Today, being a clear bright day, we have walked from Richmond through the dear old Park; and I have read aloud this evening the last of Heyse's "Vier neue Novellen". On Thursday (12th) Herbert Spencer dined with us and we discussed his plan of publishing his series of works by subscription in quarterly parts." Diary 1854-1861 83
