' It is impossible to read George Eliot, either in prose or poetry, without
beirg reminded of Shakespeare; and the resemblance is borne out in that habit
of net mind which throws off thought in crystals, in terse and lucid generalizations,
in flashing surprises of wit, and in epigrams that will pass into the immortal cuiyency of the world's proverbs. From no other writer, it seems to us, since Shakespeare, could so many gems or statements - witty and wise-be culled as from the
works of this wonderfll mind; and in 'Wit and Wisdom of George Eiiot' we
have a collection which cannot fail to be greatly enjoyed, and of which we can only
say that it is so good that we wonder at its not having been done before." - Christian Union.
"The novels of George Eliot are full of nuggets of wisdom and bits of felicltons characterization that dwell in the memory of the attentive reader. Sone one
nas had the 'happy thought' to gather up a great number of these gems and
Arrange them in a volume to themselves, with a good index to aid the reader in
inding his favorite. 'The Wit and Wisdom of George Eliot' is a dainty little
oook that the readers of that thoughtful novelist will eageily seek and heartily
enajoy." - Cleveland Herald.
