Book Description
This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Book Description
Excerpt from The Mill on the Floss When George Eliot had finished a novel, she did not care to look at it again - e.g., she said of Romola, "I have not read it for ten years"; and when she is "deep in the fourth volume" of Deronda she "cannot any longer care for the first volume that is past and done for." But she always read new proofs scrupulously and was eager to make minor emendations, as shown by her thanking Mrs. Blackwood for her "hints on equine matters," by her hope that Mr. Blackwood will "rate the printers a little about their spacing," and by her saying of a new edition of Middlemarch, "I am anxious to correct the sheer both in relation to mistakes already standing, and to prevent the accumulation of others." Hence I have thought it worth while to follow the Cabinet Edition of 1878, which in many minor matters is an improvement upon the first form. The only alterations in spelling (except normalizing Sinbad and Sindbad, and changing the final vowel of particulum) are Americanizing forms like waggon and the terminations our, eable, ise, and lled. The punctuation has been altered in only two ways: inserting periods after Mr and Mrs, deleting about two dozen commas and semicolons before dashes. On what principles should this edition be annotated? Since there are in the reflective passages hundreds of words and allusions of which the ordinary high-school pupil is ignorant, and since explaining them all would convert a novel into a reference-book, notes have been limited by this test: Will a note add to a reader's pleasure by giving him a better understanding of the story? Only an omniscient sympathy could know certainly whether it is wise to define "pier-glass" and "comforter," to explain "sang froid" and omit "stoat"; but a real effort has been made in every case to decide whether "this will bring out the picture." Few biographical references have been given, and few definitions of words that can be found in a desk dictionary. The facts of George Eliot's life are mostly taken from J. W. Cross's three-volume biography - indeed there is hardly any other source. Mathilde Blind's Life has furnished some added items of interest, and Oscar Browning's a few.

Book Description
The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot Tom and Maggie Tulliver are two children who grew up in Dorlcote Mill, which has been in their family for generations. The children have many extended families living nearby, and their aunts and uncles often come to argue with each other and to scold Tom and Maggie. Tulliver's boys have a stormy relationship. They spend most of their time getting along or arguing horribly. Maggie in particular is very intelligent and very emotional and is always in trouble. Two main things are in the works for the Tullivers: school and a lawsuit. Tom and Maggie are both sent to school and Tom receives an extravagant, if pointless, education. At school he meets a deformed boy named Philip Wakem, son of Mr. Tulliver's archenemy. Mr. Tulliver does not like Mr. Wakem, a lawyer, as he is involved in a lawsuit against one of Wakem's clients. Mr. Tulliver loses the case and things quickly go downhill for the Tulliver family. They fail and Mr. Tulliver's health begins to deteriorate. Mr. Wakem buys the Tulliver family mill, which causes Mr. Tulliver to hate the Wakem even more and to curse them in the family Bible. After the case fails, Tulliver's kids are forced to drop out of school and start working. Tom is a slave to one of his uncles and is obsessed with paying off family debts. Maggie finds solace in an extreme form of religion, but she later sets it aside in favor of a secret friendship with Philip Wakem, who has been in love with Maggie since their first meeting. Maggie's passionate nature continues to cause her a lot of emotional distress. Tom discovers Maggie's relationship with Philip and forbids her to see him again. Maggie is torn, but decides that family loyalty comes first. Her relationship with Tom is severely damaged. Shortly thereafter, Tom manages to pay off his family debts, but the triumph is ruined when Mr. Tulliver attacks Mr. Wakem and then dies shortly thereafter. The Tullivers must get away from the mill. A few years pass and Maggie returns from a period as a governess to be with her cousin Lucy. Tom has made his way into his uncle's business and is now successful. Maggie meets Stephen Guest, Lucy's boyfriend, and the two quickly fall in love. Philip also returns and Maggie is involved in a messy love quadrilateral. Eventually, Stephen and Maggie are unable to control their feelings and the two try to escape. But Maggie has a crisis of conscience and she leaves Stephen, returning home in disgrace. Although Maggie reconciles with those closest to her, she is unable to make amends with the critic Tom. After a period of intense emotional pain for Maggie, the local river floods. Maggie goes to rescue Tom and the two reconcile their differences. But Tom and Maggie drowned in the flood. The other characters survive and move on with their lives and Tom and Maggie are buried together.
