Excerpt from Criticisms on Contemporary Thought and Thinkers, Vol. 1 of 2: Selected From the Spectator
Mr. Carlyle has mended his religious faith since he last described the damnable condition of the world in which he is compelled to live, and in his letter to Sir Joseph Whitworth on the relations of capital and labour, he speaks of Almighty God with a pious Simplicity which is a surprise and a pleasure after those Abysses and Eternities, and other ornate vaguenesses and paraphrastic plurals Of his middle period. Of all the unveracities which Mr. Carlyle used to denounce with so much vigour, it always seemed to me that the circumlocutions by which he himself avoided committing himself on the question whether the rule to which he was always exhorting us to submit was really the rule of wisdom or only the rule of brute necessities, were some of the worst.
