[Sidney Biddell to Ellen Nussey, 15 February 1885:]
'I am having a great treat in Cross's "Life of George Eliot." Most wonderful woman! — At 34
years of age she became Editor of the "Westminster Review," the most
intellectual Review of the day [...] At 24 years of age this most wonderful of girls translated
from the German Strauss's "Leben Jesu" after only 4 years study of the language! — When
Sonie has finished the first volume I will send it you. — I am nearly through this volume
myself.'
