summary:
  It would not, then, have much surprised us if George Eliot had insisted that her works should remain the only commemoration of her life. There will be very little dispute as to the fact that the editor of these memorials of George Eliot has done his work with excellent taste, judgment, and sense.

summary:
  This richly-crowded canvas presents to us such variety of illustration of the two great antagonistic principles of human life--self-pleasing and self-abnegation, love of pleasure and the love of God more or less absolute and consummate--that it is no easy task to select from among them. In it the author takes up--not a new scope, but extends one that has all along been present, and that indeed was inevitably associated with her great ethical principle,--the bringing of that principle definitely and directly to bear upon not only every domestic but every social and political relation of human life.

summary:
  It is true George Eliot enumerates a formidable list of names. They had been walking together in close argument, and as the Poet-Laureate bade George Eliot farewell, he called to her, already making her way down the hill, Well, good-by, you and your molecules!

  Will you tell Mr. Bray that we are quitting our present house in order to be _nearer_ town for Charlie's sake, who has an appointment in the Post-office, and our time will be arduously occupied during the next few weeks in arrangements to that end, so that our acceptance of the pleasant proposition to visit Sydenham for a while is impossible. Let the best come, you will still be the person outside my own home who _first_ gladdened me about Adam Bede; and my success will always please me the better because you will share the pleasure.

  My brightest spot, next to my love of _old_ friends, is the deliciously calm, _new_ friendship that Herbert Spencer gives me. And there is nothing in our constitution to obstruct the slow progress of _political_ reform.

summary:
  That on human life shows how much she had thought, and how thoroughly and philosophically, on one of the largest problems; while the one on Heine indicates her penetrating literary judgment and her capacity for analysis and interpretation. Appeals founded on generalizations and statistics require a sympathy ready-made, a moral sentiment already in activity; but a picture of human life such as a great artist can give, surprises even the trivial and the selfish into that attention to what is apart from themselves, which may be called the raw material of moral sentiment.
