GEORGE ELLIOTT'S POETRY AND OTHER STUDIES

By Rose Elizabeth Cleaveland.

From the August 1885 issue of The Christian Science Journal


A book, beautifully embellished, of about 200 pages. Few authors have her style, literary, "the rose that all are praising." It is a live book—originality, felicity, freshness, and force recapitulating. Homiletical, rich in suggestiveness, overflowing. Womanly, heroic—she sweeps aside conventionalities, and with firm, unfaltering adherence to honest conviction, conscientious reasonableness, places herself under the lens of criticism. Her metaphysics purge materialism with a single sentence—hear it: "One may know all that is to be known about matter, and nothing that need to be known about man."
