Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The True Story of George Eliot in Relation to "Adam Bede" Giving the Real Life History of the More Prominent Characters
IN the pages of a written book, he who writes and they who read are brought into intellectual companionship for the time being. I deem it, therefore, desirable that the reader should be taken into the writer's confidence as to the inception and growth of his book, and this is what I propose to do in the preface I am now writing.
