George Eliot to John Blackwood, 26 January 1878. “Last night I finished reading Principal Tulloch's small but full volume on Pascal -- a present for which I am much obliged. It is admirably fair and dispassionate and I should think will be an acceptable piece of instruction to many readers. The brief and graphic way in which he has made present and intelligible the position of the Port-Royalists is an example of just what is needed in such a series as the Foreign Classics. But of course they are the most fortunate contributors who have to write about the authors less commonly treated of and especially when they are prepared to write by an early liking and long familiarity -- as in the present case. I have read every line of appreciation with interest.” GEL 7: 11
