George Eliot to Martha Jackson, 6 April 1840. "I dilate on this mistake of mine, not out of a desire to meditate on anything belonging to myself, for I am very glad to take my congé of that importunate companion, but because I think it possible that a knowledge of my experience on this head may be of some use to you. I am delighted with the little compact chronological table, the more so that it trenches not on my ground. Who is its author or authoress? and whose is the scheme of prophetic interpretation? I have read some portions of ‘The Doctor,’ and have long intended to read the work thoroughly, but I am waiting for a season that I can conscientiously devote to a light work, which is a sort of effervescent medicine that my torpid constitution occasionally needs. You will polish and sharpen me, will you not? Alas! I need melting and remoulding." GEL 1: 48 "Edward Bickersteth, A Practical Guide to the Prophecies, with Reference to Their Interpretation and Fulfilment . . ., 4th ed., London, Seeley and Burnside, 1835; 6th ed., 1839. The Table of Chronology GE refers to is Appendix II." GEL 1: 196f
