Evidence

George Eliot to Mrs. Charles Bray, 6 November 1852. "Things seem to be going on tolerably well here. Mr. Chapman listens most amiably to my report of the fault people find with him. He is better than they think. I have read Kingsley's Phaethon this morning, and long to cut it up. Kingsley provokes me more and more. I am going to plunge into Thackeray's novel now, so good-bye. God bless you all." GEL 2: 66 "The History of Henry Esmond, Esq., 3 vols., 1852." GEL 2: 219f.
