Middlemarch [A Review]

Title

Middlemarch [A Review]

Description

  • "For a year and more the reading world was kept in suspense while <I>Middlemarch</I> appeared in monthly or bi-monthly numbers. According to custom on such high occasions, it was served out a few chapters at a time, and readers were expected to accept with thankfulness the portion vouchsafed to them, to read it, and to go about their business with the equanimity of the Sultan in <I>Arabian Nights</I>"
