Excerpt from Letters of Thomas Carlyle, 1826-1836 The letters contained in this volume have been selected from a great mass mainly addressed to the various members of Carlyle's family.

The letters as here given afford a tolerably continuous account of his life from his marriage to the period when his fame was about to be established by the publication of his French Revolution.
