The concluding volume of Froude 5
"I.ife of Carlyle Just published, opens
with an introduction, in which Mr.. troude
celebrates the idea which he advanced in
his preface to the first volume, that he
was bound. in describing Carlylc's lifea
life-work. to follow the rule which Car
lyle himself laid down for the biographcr.
So he writes on the "Duty of his l}iograph-
err" maintaining that. had he taken the
course which the natural man" would
have recommended, he would have given
no faithful account of Carlyle. lie would
have been unjust to himself, to the public
and to Carlyle.

thirty nine years old He was absorbed in
the first years of his London life by his
history of the French Revolution. EN-

daily life, his thoughts. ms hopes and his
perhaps hours would more ac-
