| Evidence: | 'Did you read Sir W Hamilton on Cousin's Metaphysics in the last Edinburgh Review? And what inferences are we to draw from it? Pity that Sir W. had not the gift of delivery! He has real knowledge on those matters; but all unsorted, and tumbled topsy-turvy like a "bankrupt stock."' |

| Taken from letter from TC to David Aitken, dated 21st December 1829, written at Craigenputtoch, Dumfries. Pages 44-46 in this edition. Date range is an estimate based on date of this letter and publication date of the edition - but Carlyle refers to the same review in a letter to John Wilson dated 19th December, which implies that he had not read it on that date, so the date range may be smaller. |
