G. C. Lewis : articles on ancient history
George Grote to G. C. Lewis, 12 October 1857: 'I have received and perused your three numbers of "Notes and Queries;" which is an agreeable collection of matters to read when one comes across it, though I do not habitually take it in. 'Your remarks upon Niebuhr's description of Pyrrhus are most just and instructive, and the exposure of his inaccuracies complete [comments further].'

G. C. Lewis : 'book of Ancient Astronomy'
George Grote to G. C. Lewis, 9 February 1862: 'I ought before this to have written to thank you for your book of Ancient Astronomy. But I delayed doing so until I had read the book through; and having now done so, I can perform the task with more satisfaction. I can say, without the least exaggeration, that it is a truly useful and instructive exposition [...] You deserve every compliment for the example which you set of always producing authorities and giving copious references. 'Your chapters on the AEgyptian [sic] and Assyrian interpretations are also exceedingly valuable. I never knew so much about the Egyptian [sic] matters before.'

G. C. Lewis : 'Egyptological pamphlet'
George Grote to G. C. Lewis, 29 December 1862: 'Your Egyptological pamphlet is a very ingenious jeu d'esprit, and the general observations contained in the first pages of it are very instructive: the citations which you give out of Niebuhr are curious.'
