Theophrastus Such

Wherever Mrs. Eliot places her touch, she leaves the impression of the profound insight, the serene wisdom, the fine observation, and the subtle humor which so graciously signalize her nature. The short essays in this book are stamped with all of the writer's peculiarities of thought and style, and are witty, suggestive, and delightful. The book is studded with fine thoughts and fine expressions. It is the peculiar characteristic of George Eliot's observations—and one exemplified in this her last work perhaps more than in any previous one—that she always puts in the best language thoughts which appear to have been in the reader's mind often before. In these pages they are crystallized.
