"We believe that Carlyle has, after all, more……" — Henry David Thoreau

"We believe that Carlyle has, after all, more readers, and is better known to-day for thisvery originality of style, and that posterity will have reason to thank him for emancipating the language, insome measure, from the fetters which a merely conservative, aimless, and pedantic literary class had imposed upon it, and setting an example of greater freedom and naturalness."
