"A compact and well-ordered account of the different stages of Carlyle's literary career. The chapter entitled 'Decadence' deals with the period from Mrs. Carlyle's death to his own, and discusses in an admirable way the effect of his upbringing and training upon his habit of thought. That done, Professor Nichol is left free to deal with Carlyle's work as an influence apart altogether from his work as a comment upon, or as commented upon by, his life. Professor Nichol does not write in the spirit of hero worship. Even in his general estimates he is wonderfully impartial. The result is that we are left with a strong sense of the greater qualities of the man without being filled (as we are when reading a too enthusiastic memoir) with any irritating desire to recall his less lovely traits." -The National Review Less
