| Evidence: | 'I was very much obliged by your copy of Doering's Jean Paul and the manuscript sent along with it; whch tho' too late for assisting my printed critical labours I perused with great interest. My curiosity indeed was rather excited than satisfied by the strange 'string of shreds and patches' which Doering calls a Life; but Richter is a subject of such attraction that any account of him however meagre was peculiarly welcome.' |

| Taken from letter from TC to NH Julius, dated 4th December, written at 21 Comley Bank, Edinburgh. Pages 160-164 in this edition. Date range is an estimate based on the reference Carlyle makes at the beginning of this letter, that the acknowledgement of the books that Julius sent him is 'a debt which for several months has lain heavy on my conscience'. |
