Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guide to Carlyle, Vol. 1 The biographical chapters have been added for the sake of completeness, that the reader may possess, within the compass of a single work, a compendium of all facts worthy of note relating to Carlyle's life and books. They have been compiled from the Reminiscencer, and the Letters published at intervals of years down to August 1914, and from the work of Froude, though the latter has been used as sparingly as possible. Writing for a new generation, largely unacquainted with Froude, I had hoped to make the biography non-controversial. I thought it might be assumed that the battle was over and F roude finally defeated, and that a new start might therefore be made in the treatment of Carlyle's life, as if F roude had never given his theories to the world. If this has proved to be impossible, I at least hope that controversy has been reduced to a minimum. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
