From TIE Saturday Rerielc, (LondOn,) Oct. %
With patient industry only less remarkable than
his creative power, he has prodaced a work which,
in addition to higher qualities, amusing Wa
verify novel, and accurate as a German mono
graph
From the Nelc York Times, Nov. 5h, 1s5s.l
His ''Ilfe of Frederick the Great" has long been
eagerly anticipated, and that it has been publish
ed 1t is seized upon with much avidy thought
were new novelty Brlwcr dickens.
There is no abatement OF the old Cryean strength,
or humor quaintness with which the reading world
is already 50 familiar, which many have tried in
vain to initiate, and which still remains unique and
impossible TO all but their inventor and master.
From tie ". Z. Erenirg Post, Nov. 9Th, 1851
If the two volumes which are TO succeed shall equal
the two which we have read, Carlyies Life of Fred
erick the Great must be regarded his grca work
The author has explored field which has never been
inteigenty and thoroughly traversed by compe-
tent historian and the result is historical
ton Of scenes and persons the eighteenth century
which few readers were prepared TO anticipate.
[FfOna TIE ~ Y. Tribune, Oct sou, 1851
No labor be compared tie literary toll, Of
which the marks conspicuous every page Of
these volumes. Such handling of antique musty doc.
uHients, such thraShing 81 husNs for few grains of
corn such destroying, soul depressing pertinacity
OF research their composition has evidently de-
manded of the author, almost place the miraculous
diligence OF Gibbon himself discount. Seldom
indeed is the inspiration OF a Of genius 50 hap
ply combined with the dogged faithfulness OF u
drudge.
From TIE National Reriec, (LOndor,l Oct 1855
OF the richness Of Mr. Cariyle's book in hrmly-
drawn and vivid pictures OF men and thngs-of its
fantastic humor and rugged manly pathos, no idea
can be gathered except from its own pages. .
There is one characteristics of Mr.. Carlye's which
rises him above the level of all contemporary hiso
rians; solemn Of the my stery and wonder OF
human life and Of the universe in which Is placed is
initey little" that makes large part OF history
he never loses sight Of the ''indntely great" that
struggles Intellectually for expression through 1t. 1t
is this that ives his writings their Of
quaint pathos, their tone of stern mournful irony
their startling and grotesque contrasts.
From The Brooklyn Times, Nor. I'd 1855
The present biography is the product Of years OF
the most profound research, research conducted
with the OF an enthusiast who is in love
with his theme instead Of the pIodding duIlness of
the boot making Dryasdusts. The subject is thor
oughy exhausted.
