Lewes) Gioss. Scenes of clerical life, 1858, Adam Bede, 1858. L. and Edinb.

" Nor can we omit, in concluding this notice of a most remarkable book, some notice of the disputes as to ita authorship The newspapeis have been full of them Mr. Anders, rector of Kirkby, Tvmtes eaily in April of this year to as- sure the vi orld that the author of Adam Bede is Mr Liggms, of Nuneaton, Warwickshire, and the chaiacteis whom he paints m Scenes of Cler- ical Life, aie as familiar there as the twin spires of Coventry ' But just as \re have satisfied our minds that this is the true state of the case, and are feeling greatly obliged to Mr. Anders, a wrathful letter from ' G-eorge Eliot ' disturbs us; asking (not nnreasonably) whether * the act of publishing a book deprives a man of all claim to the courtesies usual amongst gentlemen?' . . . Then some gentleman is ' receiving subscriptions ' as the ilj-used author of Adam Bede. Finally, the Messrs Blackwood, turning at last to throw a stone, declare that, ' those works are not writ- ten by Mr. Liggins, or by any one with a name like Liggms 7. . . ITow, upon all this we have only to remark, that we cordially agree in the dictum of Mr. Eliot, that * the attempt to pry into what IB obviously meant to be withheld., his name, is quite indefensible.'"
