'Did you − I forget − did you have a kick at the stern works of that melancholy puppy and humbug Daniel Deronda himself? − the Prince of Prigs: the literary abomination of Desolation in the way of manhood: a type which is enough to make a man forswear the love of women, if that is how it must be gained….'

Additional Comments:
"Daniel Deronda" was published in Edinburgh and London in 1876 by William Blackwood & Sons. RLS's remarks on Daniel Deronda are prompted here by his memory of an article written not by Martin but by Catherine Spence (see p. 228, Note 1).
