Book Description
Excerpt from Early Letters of Thomas Carlyle, Vol. 2 I have almost forgot to say that if the glasses do not suit exactly - observe merely whether you need to hold the book, or other object, 100 near or zoo far from the eye; write this down for me pointedly; and send the spectacles up to me by Garthwaite, that the fault may be remedied. They can put in a pair of new sights in five minutes, and I have bargained that it shall be no additional expense. In fact the presem' sighs were put in to suit my descrip tion, and the man told me that as they grew too young, it was the custom to get them changed regularly. See, therefore, that you are pro perly fitted - since alteration can be made so easily. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
