A near fine set. "In literature Carlyle was the pioneer who explored and made known the work of modern Germany. His literary judgments were penetrating and when he had a congenial subject just; and on men like Voltaire Burns and Johnson he gave verdicts that approached finality. At a historian he is in the highest rank. Bating certain unimportant errors of detail he illumined the past with astonishing insight and made his personages actual and his scenes dramatic. His style is an extraordinary farrago leaping not flowing coining strange words and performing extravagant evolutions; yet cumulatively it impresses as a great style suffused with humor irony and passion; impossible to imitate utterly personal burning and convincing" British Authors of the Nineteenth Century. Beautifully bound by W. T. Morrell on London established c. 1861 as successor to the firm begun by Francis Bedford who in turn had assumed control of the esteemed bindery of Charles Lewis. Sarah T. Prideaux in Modern Bookbindings states that Morrell had a very large business that supplied "all the booksellers with bindings designed by his men" bindings that were "remarkable for their variety and merit."

RARE FIRST EDITION OF ALL VOLUMES OF THIS FORMIDABLE BIOGRAPHY OF THOMAS CARLYLE. 'Thomas Carlyle 1795-1881 the British essayist historian and philosopher from the Scottish Lowlands was a leading writer of the Victorian era he exerted a profound influence on 19th-century art literature and philosophy. Born in Ecclefechan Dumfriesshire Scotland Carlyle attended the University of Edinburgh where he excelled in mathematics inventing the Carlyle circle. After finishing the arts course he prepared to become a minister in the Burgher Church while working as a schoolmaster. He quit these and several other endeavours before settling on literature writing for the Edinburgh Encyclopćdia and working as a translator. He found initial success as a disseminator of German literature then little-known to English readers through his translations his Life of Friedrich Schiller 1825 and his review essays for various journals. His first major work was a novel entitled Sartor Resartus 1833–34. After relocating to London he became famous with his French Revolution 1837 which prompted the collection and reissue of his essays as Miscellanies. Each of his subsequent works including On Heroes 1841 Past and Present 1843 Cromwell's Letters 1845 Latter-Day Pamphlets 1850 and History of Frederick the Great 1858–65 were highly regarded throughout Europe and North America. He founded the London Library contributed significantly to the creation of the National Portrait Galleries in London and Scotland was elected Lord Rector of Edinburgh University in 1865 and received the Pour le Mérite in 1874 among other honours. Carlyle occupied a central position in Victorian culture being considered not only in the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson the "undoubted head of English letters" but a "secular prophet". Carlyle is now recognised as "one of the enduring monuments of our literature who quite simply cannot be spared." Carlyle was a renowned conversationalist. Ralph Waldo Emerson described him as "an immense talker as extraordinary in his conversation as in his writing—I think even more so." Charles Darwin considered him "the most worth listening to of any man I know." William Lecky noted his "singularly musical voice" which "quite took away anything grotesque in the very strong Scotch accent" and "gave it a softening or charm". Henry Fielding Dickens recollected that he was "gifted with a high sense of humour and when he laughed he did so heartily throwing his head back and letting himself go." Thomas Wentworth Higginson remembered his "broad honest human laugh" one that "cleared the air like thunder and left the atmosphere sweet." Lady Eastlake called it "the best laugh I ever heard". Charles Eliot Norton wrote that Carlyle's "essential nature was solitary in its strength its sincerity its tenderness its nobility. He was nearer Dante than any other man." Frederic Harrison similarly observed that "Carlyle walked about London like Dante in the streets of Verona gnawing his own heart and dreaming dreams of Inferno. To both the passers-by might have said See! there goes the man who has seen hell". Higginson rather felt that Jean Paul's humorous character Siebenkäs "came nearer to the actual Carlyle than most of the grave portraitures yet executed" for like Siebenkäs Carlyle was "a satirical improvisatore". Emerson saw Carlyle as "not mainly a scholar" but "a practical Scotchman such as you would find in any saddler's or iron-dealer's shop and then only accidentally and by a surprising addition the admirable scholar and writer he is." Carlyle's two most important followers were Emerson and Ruskin. In the 19th century Emerson was often thought of as "the American Carlyle" and he described himself in 1870 as "Lieutenant" to Carlyle's "General in Chief". Ruskin publicly acknowledged that Carlyle was the author to whom he "owed more than to any other living writer" and would frequently refer to him as his "master" writing after Carlyle's death that he was "throwing myself now into the mere fulfilment of Carlyle's work".' wiki Longmans, Green and Co. hardcover
