Abstract
The unpublished journals of George Henry Lewes challenge the conventional view that gatherings at the Priory were either dull or scandalous. Not only did the Leweses welcome a large number of women guests, provide entertainment by talented singers, and entertain many important Victorians, but they also provided a convenient networking space for editors, authors, and reviewers. Editors Leslie Stephen and James Thomas Knowles used the Priory gatherings to advance their projects, while Mathilda Betham-Edwards demonstrated how a woman author could add to her journalistic credits through contacts formed at the Priory. Finally, a number of regular visitors, including founding editor George Croom Robertson, contributed to the launch of the periodical Mind: A Quarterly Review of Psychology and Philosophy .
