Book Description
Excerpt from New Letters of Thomas Carlyle, Vol. 1 This Selection from Carlyle's Correspondence is a sequel to the "Letters of Thomas Carlyle," published some years ago under the editorship of Professor Charles Eliot Norton, and brings to a completion the "Epistolary autobiography" begun by the publication of the "Early Letters." The New Letters have been chosen from an immense number now in my possession, or placed at my disposal by the kindness of the owners; and the two principal objects aimed at in making the Selection, have been, first, to present only the best and most characteristic examples of Carlyle's Letters; and, secondly, to arrange these, with occasional extracts from other Letters which are not of sufficient importance for publication in full, so that when read in connection with his "Reminiscences" and his Notes and Introductions to the "Letters and Memorials of Jane Welsh Carlyle," the whole might serve as an autobiography or picture of his life, self-drawn and therefore indisputably true and faithful in outline, and complete enough in detail for all legitimate purposes. As no Life of Carlyle, satisfactory to those who knew him intimately, has yet appeared, the autobiography which he has thus unconsciously traced in his Letters and Annotations is of more than usual value and importance in elucidating his character and conduct and in explaining the conditions and circumstances under which he lived and worked.

Book Description
Excerpt from Letters of Thomas Carlyle, 1826-1836, Vol. 2 Our plans here are getting a little more fixed: I can now give you some faint fore shadow of them. I pride myself that I have never gone half a foot out of my road in search of what are called prospects: it is yet and has always been clear to me that I was one whom Promotion was least of all likely to visit. Thank Heaven I know my trade: it is to write tram while I can be kept alive by so doing, and to die writing it when I can no longer be kept alive. SO feeling, I look upon all mortals with the friendliest humour; let Kings and Chancellors fight their own battles, and all speed to them let the Devil go his way, and I will go mine. Therefore after settling my Author-business in London, I will not stay an hour, waiting at the pool, as some advise me. On the whole the world stands related.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Love Letters of Thomas Carlyle and Jane Welsh, Vol. 2 of 2: Edited by Alexander Carlyle His anxieties relieved by receipt of Miss Welsh's last Letter. Blessed be Cadmus, who first imported letters into Europe; blessed be Jane who makes so noble a use of that invention. She transports him from the smoky furnaces of Birmingham home to clear skies and souls that love him. - What a strange tragi-comedy is that of Dugald G., which she describes so neatly and with such graphic touches! Her conduct in the affair a pretty mixture of mercy, gracefulness, and female cunning. Wishes to know to whom she is "engaged" is he a genius and "elegant"? Is he a poet or a philosopher or both in one? - Asks if she is deliberating about the task he assigned her; he win take no denial. - Is idle himself: Nondum should be his motto, with Poppies argent and three Sloths dormant on a Tree disleaved. Is growing quite an Asiatic; and alas, this is not "Araby the Blest"! - Day-dreams of becoming the interpreter of truth and manly integrity and imaginative beauty, with Jane his fair and pure Egeria, to perfect, adorn, and recompense his labours! - Is going back to London, and perhaps into Kent with Mrs. Strachey and the Orator. - She must translate something of Schiller's for the "Life"; Has many things to tell Carlyle, had she time. Has got a new Brother, the handsomest she ever saw or fancied, - Baillie by name. His want of genius alone saved her from falling seriously in love with him.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
