Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of Thomas Carlyle The duty of acknowledging assistance derived from literary sources is very generally spared to the authors of this series by the copious bibliographies which constitute one of its distinctive features. By these the courteous reader may conjecture what the writer must have read, and the critical reader may discover what he has omitted to read. Some special services, nevertheless, claim special expressions of gratitude. While in no respect responsible for any of the author´s statements or opinions not directly quoted from himself, Professor Masson has laid him under the deepest obligation for help and counsel. To Mr. Alexander Ireland, another old and faithful friend of Carlyle´s, the writer is indebted for his perusal of the proof-sheets, and for the loan of a copy of the "Reminiscences," in which the innumerable errors of the first edition, only within these last few days superseded by Professor Norton´s, were carefully corrected by Mr. Ireland´s own hand. Mr. Leslie Stephen´s article in the "Dictionary of National Biography" has proved most serviceable as a luminous digest of the subject. Lastly, the author´s thanks are due to the kind friend who has relieved the biographer of a Prophet of the secular and sublunary task of compiling an index.
