George Eliot to John Blackwood, 16 October 1859. “How clever and picturesque the Horse dealer in Syria is! I read him with keen interest, only wishing that he saw the seamy side of things rather less habitually. Excellent Captain Speke can't write so well, but one follows him out of grave sympathy. That a man should live through such things as that beetle in his ear! Such papers as these make the specialité of "Blackwood": one sees them nowhere else.” GEL 3: 185
