GEORGE ELIOT.  By Sir LESLIE STEPHEN, K.C.B.

Mr. HERBERT PAUL in the NINETEENTH CENTURY.—­“The first of English living critics has been fitly chosen to inaugurate the new series of Messrs. Macmillan’s ‘English Men of Letters.’  Mr. Leslie Stephen’s ‘George Eliot’ is a grave, sober, and measured estimate of a great Englishwoman.”

Mr. W.L.  COURTNEY in the DAILY TELEGRAPH.—­“One of the most fascinating and accomplished pieces of criticism that have appeared for some time past Mr. Stephen is a prince of contemporary critics, and any one who ventures to disagree with him incurs a very heavy responsibility.”

WILLIAM HAZLITT.  By AUGUSTINE BIRRELL.

    ACADEMY.—­“We have read this book through in a single sitting,
    delighted by its easy yet careful narrative, its sane and kindly
    comment, and last, not least, by its wealth of quotation.”

DAILY NEWS.—­“Mr. Birrell has made judicious use of the mass of materials at his disposal, and with the aid of his acute and thoughtful running commentary, has enabled his readers to form a tolerably accurate and complete conception of the brilliant essays and critic with no greater expenditure of time and pains than is needed for the perusal of this slender volume.”

MATTHEW ARNOLD.  By HERBERT PAUL.
