1845D19665London: Chapman & Hall 1845. Hardcover. Very Good. Second Edition." With a presentation inscription from Carlyle on the front free endpaper: "To Samuel Rogers Esq. with many kind regards T.C. Chelsea 13 July 1845." Backstrip restored; hinges repaired. In a morocco-backed folding case. Another of the younger generation who met Rogers about 1838 was Thomas Carlyle; and the gruff Scotsman's impressions hackneyed as they are must be quoted: "Old Rogers with his pale head white bare and cold as snow. those large blue eyes cruel sorrowful and that sardonic shelf chin." It is evident that Carlyle rebel as he was was impressed with the "grim old dilettante full of sardonic sense"; and when we remember how unresponsive was Carlyle to mere reputations and how hopelessly unfair even to greatness that did not agree with him his tribute is remarkable. There must have been a force of character trained and controlled to make this wild prophet of a new age write so definitely of an old poet to the fellow-prophet in America Ralph Waldo Emerson. <br/><br/> Chapman & Hall hardcover
