Mr.. F"oudr, The biOgrapher of Carlyle,
has written a short preface To go with
Carlyle's poslhumOus "Reminiscences of
My Irish Journey" when they appear
in book form, the serial publication be
ing completed in the forthcoming July
number of The Century Magazine. AS
to the history of the manuscript, MIR
Froude says: ale Carlyle gave it to
Mr.. NcwEery, who was then acting as
his secretary; Mr.. Newbery gave it to
the late Mr. Thomas Ballantyne; by Mr..
Bailantyne il was sold to Mr.. Ander-
son, from whom it came into the hands
OF she publishers" Mr.. Froude adds, in
part: "rhe Irish problem has not been
solved since Mr. Carlyle's visit, nor has
it been made more easy Of solution by
the policy of successive ministries,
which has been precisely opposite TO
what Mr.. Carlyle would have himself
recommended. His remarks, rough
and hasty as they are, cannot be injurI-
Gus and may possibly be useful" BIr.
Froude quotes from Carlyle's journal of
November II, 1919, in which the latter
sums, up his experiences in the follow
ing characteristic vein: ugly speeta-
Gle: sad health: sad humor: thing un-
joyable TO look back upon. The whole
country figures in my mind like ragged
coat; one huge bsggar's garberdine, not
patched or patchable any longer: far
from Joyful or beautiful spectacle"
