| Taken from letter from TC to William Tait, written at 21 Comley Bank, dated 18 January 1928 (by editor). Pages 307-308 in this edition. Editor's note states that 'Carlyle refers here to vol. XVIII, Schiller's 'Thirty Year's War', I (1828). The translator, George Moir, quotes in his preface work to which we have been large indebted, and in our opinion, the ablest piece of biographical criticism which this century has produced.' |
