dents and their friends, greeted Leon
Vineent's lecture on Carlyle" which was
given at the Sldwells' Friends School
yesterday afternoon.
In q lecture that abounded in wit an

their early years In Scotland through
their struggles and final triumphs in
London While admitting that Carlyle

wish to live in the same house with
Mr.. Vincent said and proved that In
every matter OF great Importance nc
one could be more absolutely unselhsh
than was Thomas Carlyle.
The speaker said Jane Carlyle was
coquettish, keen and shrewd. She read
Virgil At ten. She was brilliant and in
tellectually unsatisfied. Her death dur
ing her husbands absence, while he was
receiving the Lord Rectorship of Edin-
burgh University, was the tragedy Of
Csrlyle's later life
