"'George Eliot' (Mary Ann Evans), the gifted Warwickshire authoress, who wrote 'Adam Bede' and several other popular works."—Daily Telegraph.
We have noticed the name from time to time, and we are glad to know who "GEORGE ELIOT" was.
From a "multiple shop" catalogue:—
"SMOKING ROOM.—The decorations are well worth a special note, and are quite unique of their kind, being without a match anywhere."
Surely not "unique." We know a lot of smoking-rooms equally matchless.
