Letter Content
GHL to Mr. And Mrs. W. M. W. Call, London, 5 July 1862
579
Text: Mathilde Blind, George Eliot, 1883, p. 149.
My main object in persuading her to consent to serial publication, was not the unheard-of magnificence of the offer, but the advantage to such a work of being read slowly and deliberately, instead of being galloped through in three volumes. I think it quite unique, and so will the public when it gets over the first feeling of surprise and disappointment at the book not being English, and like its predecessor.
