BY
GEORGE ELIOT
AUTHOR OF
"SCENES OF CLERICAL LIFE"
"So that ye may have
Clear images before your gladden'd eyes
Of nature's unambitious underwood
And flowers that prosper in the shade. And when
I speak of such among the flock as swerved
Or fell, those only shall be singled out
Upon whose lapse, or error, something more
Than brotherly forgiveness may attend."
Wordsworth.
