From the London Examiner.
That tender pathos, which could sink so deep—that gentle humor, which could
soar so lightly—that delicate perception, which nothing could escape—that wide
sympathy, which ranged so far—those sweet moralities, which rang so true: it
is indeed hard and sad to feel that these must be silent for us henceforth forever.
Let us be grateful, however, that we have still those writings of hers which
England will not willingly let die, and that she has given us no less an example
of conscientious work and careful pains, by which we all alike may profit. For
Mrs. Gaskell had not only genius of a high order, but she had also the true feeling
of the artist, that grows impatient at whatever is unfinished or imperfect.
Whether describing with touching skill the charities of poor to poor, or painting,
with an art which Miss Austin might have envied, the daily round of common
life, or merely telling, in her graphic way, some wild or simple tale: whatever
the work, she did it with all her power, sparing nothing, scarcely sparing herself
enough, if only the work were well and completely done.
From the New York Evening Post.
It is said that George Sand remarked to an English friend: “Mrs. Gaskell
has done what neither I nor other female writers in France can accomplish—she
has written novels which excite the deepest interest in men of the world, and
which every girl will be the better for reading.”
