_Pall Mall Gazette._—“To the portrait of the man, Thomas, these
letters do really add value; we can learn to respect and to like
him more for the genuine goodness of his personality.”
_Literary World._—“It is then Carlyle, the nobly filial son, we see
in these letters; Carlyle, the generous and affectionate brother,
the loyal and warm-hearted friend, ... and above all, Carlyle as a
tender and faithful lover of his wife.”
_Daily Telegraph._—“The letters are characteristic enough of
the Carlyle we know: very picturesque and entertaining, full of
extravagant emphasis, written, as a rule, at fever heat, eloquently
rabid and emotional.”

perfection the qualities which good letters should possess. Frank,

of the Sage of Chelsea. They also contain the full text of Mrs.
Carlyle’s fascinating journal, and her own ‘humorous and quaintly
candid’ narrative of her first love-affair.”
