1837174294London: James Fraser 1837. Moulding "popular conceptions of the French Revolution down to the present day" First edition bound for presentation and inscribed by the author to his mother-in-law on the title page of the first volume: "To Mrs. John Welsh. Liverpool. T.C. London June 1837". A leaf of the original manuscript closely written across two sides is bound in facing the title. Presentation copies of Carlyle's magnum opus are extremely scarce. The History was published in May 1837. Grace Welsh 1782-1842 the mother of Jane Welsh Carlyle 1801-1866 is recorded as visiting the couple in London at the end of May whereupon Thomas removed himself to rural Scotland. Grace had not approved of her daughter's choice to marry Carlyle in October 1826. In Jane's own words writing to him without her mother's knowledge made her "as nervous as if I were committing a murder" ODNB. Grace leased the pair a modest home in Edinburgh shortly after their marriage but relations between mother and daughter remained fraught throughout their lives. While writing the History Carlyle observed of one maternal visit that "Jane and her mother cannot live together" quoted in Ireland p. 151. The manuscript leaf preserves the text for pages 58-62 of Volume III discussing the aftermath of the September Massacres of 1792. It runs to 45 lines and contains several corrections and crossed-through sections including some two and a half lines not printed on page 59. The final manuscript of the History was largely destroyed after publication only fragments remaining. This copy remained in the Welsh family until 1938 when it was sold at Sotheby's after the death of Mary Chrystal the granddaughter of Jane Welsh's uncle. Carlyle's History remains one of the most authoritative accounts of the early Revolution. The work established his reputation as an intellectual and influenced many of his contemporaries - including Dickens whose Tale of Two Cities drew heavily from it. "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" PMM. 3 vols octavo 182 x 115 mm. All vols bound without half-titles vol. II bound without leaf of publisher's advertisements at rear.

Letters with old folds staining some loss both silked. In matching custom clamshell box and folder. First Edition with half-titles. vii 1 404; vii 1 422 2; vii 1 448pp. 3 vols. 8vo. 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." <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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." <br /> <br /> 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."<br /> <br /> 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. The Letters of Thomas Carlyle to his Brother Alexander p. 142-147 p. 191-195 James Fraser unknown
