Evidence

George Henry Lewes to George Jacob Holyoake, Rickmansworth, 1 August 1875. "Mrs. Lewes would very much like to have your book. We are here for the summer leading the lives of Hermits whose devotions are not to the next world. The uninterrupted peace is very favorable both to health and work. We see no one -- absolutely no one. Les jours se suivent et se ressemblent! I did one day run up to town because the Queen of Holland had expressed a wish that I should be presented to her, but except that august (and uninteresting) audience I have given no sign of myself (yes, I ought to add to a dentist) beyond what spiritual presence -- through no ‘medium’ I hope! -- may have effected." GEL 6: 160
