Excerpt from The Making of Carlyle an Experiment in Biographical Explication
Ecclefechan is a village remote from central and metropolitan influences, and in pre-railway days, when men and women lived and died whose eyes had never rested beyond the valleys of their nativity, each valley or district in the Borderland tended to produce its characteristic type called into being by the local conditions. Along with Annandale, Eccle fechan took its share in the making of the history of Scotland and the development of the national character, but the one event of world-wide importance of which we have record in all its long history occurred there late in the eighteenth century, when the old conditions which had subsisted for so many centuries were passing away for ever.
Like - all really great events, it came unheralded and unannounced. Like many incidents of vast importance to every one in the ultimate, it occurred among the lower or humbler ranks of men and women, almost but not quite among the humblest.
