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.<br> 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.<br> 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."<br> 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".<br> 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."<br> 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

16-6235New York: Boston London: Major newspapers and reviews 1877-1917. A Collection of 18 original printings of reviews by the major newspaper and cultural media. Ambassador John Lothrop Motley 1814 -1877. Mounted on 9 ledger sheets 31 x 42cm. .Ambassador John Lothrop Motley April 15 1814 – May 29 1877 was an American author and diplomat. As a popular historian he is best known for his works on the Netherlands the three volume work The Rise of the Dutch Republic and four volume History of the United Netherlands. As United States Minister to Austria in the service of the Abraham Lincoln administration Motley helped to prevent European intervention on the side of the Confederates in the American Civil War. He later served as Minister to the United Kingdom Court of St. James during the Ulysses S. Grant administration.In December 1870 Mr. Motley sent a 62-page dispatch to Secretary Fish titled “End of a Mission†in which he protested his recall and recounted the events leading to the dispatch of November 10. The Secretary followed with an even longer rejoinder sent not to Motley who was no longer in an official position and hadn’t been when he had sent the dispatch but to the chargé d’affaires Benjamin Moran. Senator Sumner upbraided Mr. Grant and Mr. Fish on the Senate floor then had the Senate publish all the documents related to the recall. In 1878 Oliver Wendell Holmes a fellow Brahmin wrote a memorial biography which was devoted to a defense of the former minister and a repudiation of his recall. John Jay who had succeeded Mr. Motley in Vienna published his own defense of him in 1877. Mr. Grant after leaving the presidency wrote a letter to the New York Herald reiterating that his reason for dismissing Mr. Motley was solely that he had failed to carry out his duties. Mr. Grant restated this charge a few years later in a Cairo interview while he was on a world tour concluding that he had no ill will toward Mr. Motley who “…like other estimable men made mistakes and Motley made a mistake which made him an improper person to hold office under me.â€.Provenance: Lt.-Col.
