CARLYLE, THOMAS, a British essayist and historian; born at Ecclefechan, a small market town of Dumfriesshire, Scotland,

Dec. 4, 1795; died at Chelsea, London, Feb. 5, 1881. He was the second son of James Carlyle, stonemason, a man of great physical and moral strength, who, though in humble circumstances, was able to give his sons an excellent Scottish education. Thomas received his elementary instruction from his father and mother. His home-teaching was supplemented by attendance at the Ecclefechan school, whence he proceeded, in 1805, to Annan Academy, and in 1809 entered Edinburgh University. Except in geometry, his college curriculum was not remarkable, and even in the mathematical class he took no prize. In 1813 he began a fitful preparation for the ministry, which, however, was soon abandoned.

THOMAS CARLYLE.

In 1814 Carlyle became mathematical master of Annan Academy; in 1816 assistant teacher at Kirkcaldy, and two years later removed to Edinburgh, where he engaged in private teaching. An introduction to Dr. David Brewster led to his writing articles for the Edinburgh Encyclopædia, and subsequently to his translating Legendre's Elements of Geometry. At the beginning of the session of 1819 he enrolled in the class of Scots law, but he found law as uncongenial a study as divinity. In 1822, while engaged as a private tutor, he arranged to write a Life of Schiller for the London Magazine, and a translation of the Wilhelm Meister of Goethe for an Edinburgh publisher.

In 1824 Carlyle paid his first visit to London, where he remained some months, superintending the publication, in book-form, of his Life of Schiller. At this time he made the acquaintance of Coleridge, Thomas Campbell, Cunningham, Procter and other eminent literary men. In the spring of 1825 he removed to a farm near Mainhill, which he had leased, his brother attending to the farming, while he himself translated German romances. His marriage with Jane Baillie Welsh took place in 1826, and they at once settled in Edinburgh. Here Carlyle completed four volumes of translations, which were published under the title of German Romances, and became a contributor to the Edinburgh Review.

In 1828 the Carlyles removed to Mrs. Carlyle's property of Craigenputtock, and there they lived for about six years. During this period Carlyle subsisted by writing for a number of reviews. He also wrote a History of German Literature, the best parts of which were subsequently published in the form of essays, and in 1833-34 there appeared, by installments, in Fraser's Magazine, Sartor Resartus, his most characteristic work. Carlyle's quiet life at

702

CARMAGNOLE-CARMAN

Craigenputtock was varied by occasional visits to Edinburgh, and by a residence of six months in London, during which time he made the acquaintance of John Stuart Mill and John Sterling.

In 1834 Carlyle resolved to try his fortune in London, and in the summer of that year established himself at No. 5 Cheyne Row, Chelsea, where he lived till the day of his death. Here he settled down to the writing of his French Revolution, which appeared in 1837. During the years 1837-40 he lectured to considerable yet select audiences, and his yearly earnings from these lectures maintained him and his wife till the French Revolution not only established his reputation as a literary genius of the highest order, but placed him beyond the possibility of want. In 1838 appeared Sartor Resartus in bookform, and the first edition of his Miscellanies. 1845 he published Cromwell's Letters and Speeches, perhaps the most successful of all his works, inasmuch as it completely revolutionized the public estimate of its subject. In 1851 he published a biography of his friend John Sterling. From this time Carlyle gave himself up entirely to his largest work, the History of Friedrich the Second, Called Frederick the Great, the first two volumes of which were published in 1858, and which was concluded in 1865.

In

In November, 1865, Carlyle was elected lord rector of Edinburgh University, and in the following April the ceremony of his installation took place amid extraordinary demonstrations of enthusiasm. A few days later news reached him, in Dumfries, of the death of Mrs. Carlyle. His grief developed into remorse when he discovered from certain of her letters and her journal that, during a period of their married life, his unconscious want of consideration for her had caused her much misery. It has also been demonstrated by the Letters and Memorials of Jane Welsh Carlyle that at one time they were somewhat estranged. These Memorials are of note as proving Mrs. Carlyle to have been one of the keen- | est critics, most brilliant letter-writers and most accomplished women of her time. Carlyle wrote no important work after his wife's death. In 1874 he was offered and accepted the Prussian Order of Merit, in recognition of his having written the life of Frederick the Great, who founded the order. In the same year Disraeli offered him the grand cross of the Bath (with the alternative of a baronetcy) and a pension, but he declined both. He died at his house in Chelsea, Feb. 5, 1881. A burial in Westminster Abbey was offered, but in accordance with his own wish, he was laid in the churchyard of Ecclefechan, beside his kindred.

The growth of a strong character can always be traced to a wonderful degree of accuracy in the utterances or writings of the man. As the thought and manner of thinking change, so does the style, and so does, of course, the disposition of the man himself. Of no one can these foregoing statements be made more truthfully than of Carlyle. What may have been a sweet and generous disposition was so changed by his manner of thought, his dyspeptic way of looking at every subject, that in the later years of his life there

[ocr errors]

was no more crabbed or disagreeable personage than he. His fellows at Annan and Edinburgh first called out an evidence of his disposition, and each successive circumstance. emphasized the foundation of that first example. As in speech the crabbed man makes use of short paragraphs, sentences and abrupt endings, so in writing he made use of a style in accord with his nature. Some are inclined to blame his constant study of the German inverted style for his peculiar mannerisms in expression. The German may have had an influence, but the dyspepsia had more. That he could make use of good flowing English is evinced in his Wilhelm Meister, but that style was unnatural, and he did not maintain it. His Sartor Resartus is a fair example of his natural expression at the time when his life had a little humor in it, but mixed with satire. This work established Carlyle's reputation, for it placed before the public a collection of satirical humor in unique, graphic and rugged style, such as could not but attract attention. The most pessimistic of pessimists, if he puts his ideas into phrases constructed in a manner peculiarly his own, will attract notice and be read ever so widely. with the French Revolution, perhaps his greatest work, great because the new clothes of old ideas attract. There was less opportunity for display of satire, but a splendid chance for dramatic descriptions. The story of the French struggle is told as the incidents that went to make up the lives of the leaders. Carlyle was careful of the truth as he saw it. truth as he saw it. In his historical writings he was sure to give the exact circumstance without coloring. This desire to state facts carried him to the extreme in his Life of Frederick the Great, in which are given so many details as to make the whole work wearisome. Carlyle was, it must be said, consistent. He preached along the same line in the last year of his life that he did in the early part of his career. He used no delicacy in his method of argument, but pounded and hammered his reading congregation. He was brilliant, powerful, a critic and a genius, but to many so much of his life as was spent in pessimistic sarcasm is a blemish upon his learned industry and life-purpose.

Four years later he became connected with the editorial staff of the New York Independent, also assisting in launching the early numbers of the Chap-Book and contributing thereto. His first book of verse, Low Tide on Grand Pré, was published in 1893, and won unusual recognition from capable critics. There There was in it a tender threnody and strain of the woods and waste places, as well as true poesy. His next volume, Songs From Vagabondia, written in collaboration with Richard Hovey, was published in 1894, and was as favorably received. In 1895 he issued a Threnody for Robert Louis Stevenson, a delicate tribute of poetry to his dead friend.

During the brief Conservative administration of 1885-86 he was Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, and his negotiations with Mr. Parnell gave rise, two years later, to considerable controversy. He was author of The Druses of Mount Lebanon (1860); Reminiscences of Athens and the Morea (1869); and translations of the Agamemnon (1879); and the Odyssey (1886).

In October, 1895, was published, in uniformity with a special series, Behind the Arras: A Book of the Unseen, in which the author's previous reputation was fully sustained.

He studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh and graduated there, and afterward studied surgery in Paris, London and other Continental cities. In 1847 he began the practice of surgery in New York City, where he at once attained a very high reputation on account of his success in operations never before attempted. In 1852 he severed and tied the femoral artery, effecting a cure in an exaggerated case of nutrition (elephantiasis arabrum). The same year he removed a lower jaw, entire, with both condyles. In 1854 he removed the entire ulna, and also the entire radius. In 1856 he cut down and removed the entire trunk of the second branch of the fifth pair of cranial nerves, the nerve being cut from the infra-orbital foramen to the foramen rotundum, at the base of the skull, involving an operation through the malar bone. The removal of this nerve had been decided upon to secure relief in a chronic case of neuralgia. It was entirely successful, and made the bold and accurate operator famous throughout the world.
