    THOMAS CARLYLE By hector C. MACPHERSON ‘ One of the very best little books on Carlyle yet written, far outweighing in value some more pretentious works with which we are familiar.’—Literary World. ‘We heartily congratulate author and publishers on the happy commencement of this admirable enterprise.’— British Weekly. ‘ As an estimate of the Carlylean philosophy and of Carlyle’s place in literature and his influence in the domains of morals, politics, and social ethics, the volume reveals not only care and fairness, but insight and a large capa- city for original thought and ]VLdigmtn\.l—Scotsman. ‘ Lets us get a correct glimpse into the complex workings of a master-mind, and is lighted up by many airy touches of fact and fancy.’— Weekly Free Press. ‘A fascinating story of a wonderful writer.’—Leeds Mercury. ‘ An eminently readable book.’—Evening Dispatch. ‘ Is distinctly creditable to the publishers, and worthy of a national series such as they have projected.’—Glasgow Daily Record. ‘The book is written in an able, masterly, and pains- taking manner.’—Educational News.
