About this book
The prefatory note presents George Eliot as a biographical study drawing a considerable portion of its information from private sources because published materials were scarce. The writer reports visiting places connected with George Eliot's early life and meeting her brother, Mr. Isaac Evans, while gathering facts and traits from local people who were contemporaries of her father, Mr. Robert Evans.
The discussion of the art identifies teachings about duty, hereditary transmission, and the sadness and imperfection of human nature. The text describes the lessons George Eliot would wish to teach as including pitying love toward fellow human beings and sympathy with all human suffering. The account of the Priory names Mr. Herbert Spencer and Professor Huxley among distinguished visitors met more or less frequently.
