Evidence

George Eliot to Frederic Harrison, 31 January 1866. “I must tell you, for your amusement, that in a copy of Mill's "Representation" which I have down here from the London Library, some reader has thought it worth-while to put as an annotation -- "Beesly and F. Harrison refuted." I fail to see the àpropos. It is affixed to a passage about the lasting influence occasionally produced by the work of one powerful monarch e.g. Charlemagne.” GEL 4: 232
