1837réf. 56314London: James Fraser 1837. First Edition in Original Condition The first edition of Carlyle's classic study of the French Revolution complete with all half titles and the integral advertisement leaf in the second volume in its original contemporary binding and with all edges untrimmed. Carlyle arranged his work in three parts the first subtitled "The Bastille" the second part "The Constitution" and the final part "The Guillotine." "Of the three great political upheavals which have altered the face of the earth - the American French and Russian Revolutions - only the French has stimulated literary masterpieces which in turn have made their impact direct and indirect upon millions of readers who would have and have left unread the productions of dispassionate scholarship. They are Carlyle's book and the 'History of the French Revolution' by Michelet. Carlyle wrote his French Revolution as a secular 'tract for the times' and as a warning for his compatriots of the frightful consequences of materialism utilitarianism and democracy. Scottish puritanism and German romanticism were his lodestars; 'History is the essence of innumerable biographies' was his historical creed. The result is not a work of scholarship but a prose epic teeming with colorful scenes of dramatic events and imaginative portraits of the leading revolutionaries. The book at once captured the English-speaking world and has outside France moulded popular conceptions of the French Revolution down to the present day" - PRINTING AND THE MIND OF MAN.

Inscribed in the first volume: "To my brother Alexander. T.C." With 2 ALS laid in from Thomas to his brother Alex as well as a note laid-in in pencil: "Published 1837 / autographed to Grandfather / HCJ 1950." Carlyle and his brother Alexander were the eldest of nine children and their correspondence goes from when Carlyle was in Edinburgh trying to get his footing as a writer until Alexander died on his farm in Canada in 1876. They were "remarkably close" and Thomas wrote to Alexander with "an open and copious expression of feeling and in this regard are distinguished from the letters Carlyle wrote to Goethe Emerson Mill Sterling and Browing.He showed his love for Alexander in many of the letters he wrote either to or about him by the frequency with which he wrote and the moral and financial support he gave to him by accepting support from him in return and by graphically bringing to him the sophisticated worlds from which Alexander was isolated" Marrs p. viii. One of Carlyle's dreams was to live on a self-sustaining farm where he could work in peace. He moved to such a farm in Hoddam Hill in May 1825 which his father leased for him and Alexander moved away from the family farm to work the land with a helper. The plans for the farm are discussed in the second letter sent February 1825. Disagreements with the landlord caused them to give up the plot but Carlyle would remember it fondly the rest of his life. Alexander eventually moved to Canada to live on his own farm. The first letter of 24th of May 1823 tells an animated and detail rich story about traveling to Kinnaird the Buller house near Dunkeld where he was to work as tutor to the two adolescent sons. He talks sitting next to a Dr. Fyfe one of Jane Welsh's "more ardent and enterprising suitors" Marrs p. 146 as well as his impressions of first arriving in Dunkeld "among people of such a fashionable turn" and the house where he was to stay. At the time he was deeply involved in his Life of Schiller articles for Taylor's London Magazine completing the first of three articles in April and had begun translating Goethe's Apprenticeship of Wilhelm Meister for Edinburgh publisher Boyd: "The family received me hospitly and shewed me into my quarters where I spent two hours in unpacking and arranging my goods. I have not dined and having all put to rights I am scribbling to Alick.I shall be quite comfortable here.I shall be as quiet as in the middle of Sahara; shall bolt my door and study and read and smoke according to my own pleasure." The second letter dated February 14 1824 sic. but postmarked February 17 1825 discusses his plans: "I must settle some place of abode for myself some scheme of existing in conformity to my medical prescriptions and also of proceeding with my literary employments. The farm is still my favourite or rather only steady project. A reasonable house is all that I want; with land that would pay you for working it." He talks also of learning Spanish and describes his dreams of accomplishment and reputation: "Literary fame is a thing which I covet little; but I desire to be working honestly in my day and generation in this business which has now become my trade. I make no grain of doubt that in time I shall penetrate the fence that keeps me back and find the place which is due to me among my fellow men. Some hundreds of stupider people are at this very time doing duty with acceptance in the literature of the time. We shall see; I am not at all in a hurry; the time will come." It was this book written a decade later that established Carlyle's reputation as an important intellectual: "a prose epic teeming with colourful scenes of dramatic events and imaginative portraits of the leading revolutionaries. The book at once captured the English-speaking world and has outside France moulded popular conception of the French Revolution down to the present day" PMM In his letter to Alexander in Canada written 23 April 1837 he references the completion of "The Book" "it is all in type my share of it finished.I suppose it will be out as a Book in not many days. You shall have a Copy of it by the earliest chance after that; and good appetite I shall wish you with it. It is I think the most radical Book that has been written in these late centuries.and will give pleasure and displeasure one may expect to almost all classes of persons. Let it take its fate: the great indisputable blessin is that I have done with it forever and a day" Marrs p. 421. PMM 304; Marrs ed.

1836réf. 3467031836. Bifolium 2 pp. 8vo. Old folds wax seal remnants very good. Bifolium 2 pp. 8vo. Carlyle writes to John Sterling 1806-1844 for an account of his - famously poor - health offering the help of his wife and quoting from Goethe. Sterling was a Scottish author. A follower of Coleridge he was entrusted to edit his unpublished theological writings. Carlyle much admired Sterling's anonymously-published novel set during the French Revolution Arthur Coningsby 1832 and first met Sterling in person at John Stuart Mill's office in February 1835. In October 1839 Mill published Sterling's a controversial essay on Carlyle. They carried on a correspondence from the time they met until the end of Sterling's short life. Carlyle and Julius Hare were put in joint care of Sterling's papers and Hare published Essays and Tales in 1848 but Carlyle was upset with how it turned out and published his Life of John Sterling in 1851 using most of their correspondence in a highly edited form ODNB. Henry James Sr. who visited Sterling near the end of his life on the Isle of Wight called him "a perfectly delightful man just the antipodes of Carlyle and the only man Carlyle had any sincere attachment to" Boston Sunday Herald 17 April 1881. The full text of the letter: Chelsea Saturday Morning My dear Sterling - If it will not hurt you to write pray send me a little Bulletin with your own hand. I hear nothing but more or less contradictory accounts the average of which is a vague statu-quo. Your Doctors undoubtedly have done well to seclude you; this I must say tho' I suffer by it like others. If at any hour it become medically permissible for you to be talked to pray send me word. But above all things mein Lieher get fast well again. We miss you terribly; it is many long years since I in particular saw a face like yours. Courage Hoffnung und Ergebung! Die Zukunjt decket - Schmerzen und Gliicke. Dock ungeschrecket - Dringen wir vorwdrts I am to be at your Father's to-night seeking my Wife: the answer to this cannot come by post till Monday. Jane bids me say "If there were anything in the world she could do! She is the most disengaged woman in London at present." I believe the message is sincere to the fullest extent.

Each on a single folded "Aerogramme" sheet addressed by Cockerell on verso; one page each. 8vo. Charming letters from the aging museum director collector and calligrapher to his American counterpart Paul Standard founding member of the Typophiles and champion of calligraphy. In the first Cockerell expresses his delight on receiving the news that he "will have the great pleasure of seeing you and Mrs. Standard here in June - by the same post came one from RUTH DRAPER saying exactly the same thing . I shall be delighted to show you my Bembo ms and other fine specimens of Italian calligraphy." In the second Cockerell touchingly apologizes for his tardiness in answering: "I am going through rather a tiresome phase of my malady Old Age which makes me lethargic and rather disinclined to answer letters . Stella dear I think of you lovingly and wish speedy completion to your new book with much applause to follow. Dear Paul I feel that we understand each other and have a mutual affecton which wll not wear thin ." In the last letter Cockerell is glad to know that "'Italian Food' by Elizabeth David has been an acceptable addition to Stella's culinary library . Also I was glad to have news of STANLEY MORISON for whom I have great admiration . BR is another old and dear friend to whom I am glad to have had my recalled - He is maturing but I believe he's not eager to grow old - what a lot he has done for printing both in America and here .". unknown books

Her skill often lay in the immediacy of her letters; their appeal lies partly in the story that emerges from her self-dramatization. Short excerpts can barely do them justice. Their effectiveness has nothing to do with elegant prose to which she could always rise much to do with her sympathetic imagination clear head alertness and a quick eye and ear for entirely natural expressionÉ Yet her letters should not be treated simply as autobiography. She was an artist with a keen and critical eye for the weaknesses and strengths of others. She had a strong and alert intellect and her insights whether skeptical or irreverent are always direct. Her companionship with Carlyle was an education itself as his with herÉ His unheard-of decision to publish her letters so completely was justified; he was convinced that they give 'such an electric-shower of all-illuminating brilliancy penetration wise discernment just enthusiasm humor grace patience courage loveÑand in fine of spontaneous nobleness of mind and intellect' surpassing 'whatever of best I know to exist in that kind' Carlyle Reminiscences 161.

Title-page printed in red and black. Bound ca. 1920 by Rivière & Son stamp signed in gilt on lower turn-in. Full antelope crushed levant morocco covers decoratively ruled in gilt surrounding a very elaborate floral design in pointillé spine with five raised bands similarly decorated and lettered in gilt in compartments gilt-ruled board edges full dark blue morocco liners elaborately decorated in gilt blue watered silk end-leaves top edge gilt. A wonderful example of the art of 'pointillé'. The Scottish author critic and thinker Thomas Carlyle 1795-1881 was a major influence on Victorian society. His novel Sartor Resartus translated as The Tailor Re-tailored among other variations is a satirical look at the work of a fictional philosopher Diogenes Teufelsdröckh. Intriguing in its form the book is structured from the prospective of a skeptical English reviewer consumed by Teufelsdröckh's book Clothes Their Origin and Influence. In crafting Sartor Resartus Carlyle drew on a range of literary influences: Goethe Hegel Sterne and Switft. Carlyle's complicated text not only critiques academic writing and materialism but offers meditations on the meanings of symbols and the search for truth. Although first started as an essay the project eventually developed into a novel which was first published serially in Fraser's Magazine 1833-34. Fine. Kegan Paul, Trench & Co unknown books
