SD2554.  Journal Entry of George Eliot

Published in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 30, 343 (in part).

[London]

19 February 1862

This evening I read aloud to G. again, at his request the first 45 pages of my romance, Charlie also being present. …

I have lately read again with great delight Mrs. Browning’s Casa Guidi Windows. It contains amongst other admirable things a very noble expression of what I believe to be the true relation of the religious mind to the Past.
