[The main authorities for Carlyle's life are his Reminiscences, published by Mr. Froude in 1881; Thomas Carlyle, a history of the first forty years of his life, 2 vols. 1882; and Thomas Carlyle, a history of his life in London, 2 vols. 1884, both by J.

It was an act of posthumous penance, and it was desirable that ‘a frank and noble confession’ should give the whole truth as to Mrs. Carlyle's grievances, which would ‘infallibly come to light’ in some
