Thirty-four octavo volumes 207 x 133 mm uniformly bound by Morrell ca. 1930 in three-quarter crushed brown levant morocco over brown cloth ruled in gilt.

The Library edition originally issued in 30 volumes 1869-71 with three additional volumes translations from the German added in 1871 and also a thirty-fourth volume as General Index . A near fine set. <br/><br/>"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."
