But, my dear madam, it is so very large a majority of your fellow-countrymen that are of this insignificant stamp. At least eighty out of a hundred of your adult male fellow-Britons returned in the last census are neither extraordinarily silly, nor extraordinarily wicked, nor extraordinarily wise; their eyes are neither deep and liquid with sentiment, nor sparkling with suppressed witticisms; they have probably had no hairbreadth escapes or thrilling adventures; their brains are certainly not pregnant with genius, and their passions have not manifested themselves at all after the fashion of a volcano.
Scenes of Clerical Life is the collection of the first three stories published by George Eliot, originally in Blackwood's Magazine. They all take place in the fictional midlands town of Milby and are concerned with the affect of religious reform on clergymen and their congregations.
