Evidence

George Eliot to John Blackwood, 4 August 1874. “I saw handsome Dean Liddell at Oxford. He is really a grand figure. They accuse him of being obstructive to much-needed reforms -- but everybody accuses everybody else in that seat of learning. For my own part I am thankful to him for his share in ‘Scott and Liddell’ and his capital little Roman History. Apropos of books and St. Andrews, I have read aloud to Mr. Lewes, Professor Flint's volume, and we have been both much pleased with its conscientious presentation and thorough effort at fairness.” GEL 6: 76
