Excerpt from Guide to Carlyle, Vol. 1 The biographical chapters have been added for the sake of completeness, that the reader may possess, within the compass of a single work, a compendium of all facts worthy of note relating to Carlyle's life and books. They have been compiled from the Reminiscencer, and the Letters published at intervals of years down to August 1914, and from the work of Froude, though the latter has been used as sparingly as possible. Writing for a new generation, largely unacquainted with Froude, I had hoped to make the biography non-controversial. I thought it might be assumed that the battle was over and F roude finally defeated, and that a new start might therefore be made in the treatment of Carlyle's life, as if F roude had never given his theories to the world. If this has proved to be impossible, I at least hope that controversy has been reduced to a minimum. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Selections From Carlyle The present volume, it is believed, includes within its narrow limits material adequate for the elementary study of Carlyle in his earliest and most fruitful period. The notes are planned in the main to give aid rather than information or Opinion. By the frequent quotation of supplementary or illustrative passages wherever it was practicable, the plan has been to let the author annotate himself. Occasionally it has seemed natural to call atten tion to some characteristic mode of thought or of expres sion, but in neither case has a set analysis been attempted. The editor's suggestions to the teacher who may use this book are three: First, that some sort of insight into the character of the man Carlyle is essential, not only as a commentary upon, but as an introduction to, the study of his work. Second, that a good deal of additional matter should be read aloud to the class, with a view to familiarizing them with peculiarities of manner which are obstacles only to the unaccustomed ear. And third, that all systematic discussion of style be reserved until the student has had a chance to form an Opinion of his own, and is ready to take a part in the discussion.
