Evidence

George Eliot to Sara Sophia Hennell, 13 November 1860. “I wish you could try and read Herbert Spencer's book before you come, because I shall ask him to meet you, and the knowledge of what it contains would add to the pleasure of conversation with him. I think the first part superior to anything he has done before, and he says he feels the same himself: it is less barely intellectual -- the considerations are larger.” GEL 3: 358
