Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of George Eliot, Vol. 18: Life of George Eliot "Nov. 22, 1819. - Mary Ann Evans was born at Arbury Farm, at five o´clock this morning." This is an entry Mr. Robert Evan´s hand-writing on the page of an old diary that now lies before me, and records, with characteristic precision, the birth of his youngest child, afterwards known to the world as George Eliot. Let us pause for a moment to pay its due homage to the precision, because it was in all probability to this most noteworthy quality of her father´s nature that the future author was indebted for one of the principal elements of her own after success, - the enormous faculty for taking pains. The baby was born on St. Cecilia´s day, and Mr. Evans, being a good Churchman, takes her, on the 29th November, to be baptised in the church at Chilvers Coton, - the parish in which Arbury Farm lies, - a church destined to impress itself strongly on the child´s imagination, and to be known by many people in many lands afterwards as Shepperton Church.
