Mrs Tyler overburdened with cares domestic and social and public, always kept a free mind for all written thought, whether of memoir, history or fiction. When a certain other dear woman, was refusing to read Adam Bede at the time of its publi- cation, on the score of the author's ungodliness, -- Mrs Tyler was reading it aloud to her husband, both filled with its charm and moral power.
