GE Journal, London, 12 April 1876
MS: Yale. Published: Cross, III, 276-277.
April 12.
On February 1 began the publication of Deronda, and the interest of the public, strong from the first, appears to have increased with Book III. The day before yesterday I sent off Book VII. The success of the work at present is greater than that of Middlemarch up to the corresponding point of publication. What will be the feeling of the public as the story advances I am entirely doubtful. The Jewish element seems to me likely to satisfy nobody. -- I am in rather better health, having perhaps profited by some eight days' change at Weybridge.
