Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ...Samoana, was clothed in a kilt of green and red baize, and was armed with a spear, and a broadsword of antique form. The chief and her husband were seated on skins in the centre of a slightly elevated circle, surrounded by a trench, outside which sat about a hundred persons of both sexes, the men well armed with bows, arrows, spears, and broadswords. Beside the husband sat a rather aged woman, having a bad squint in her left eye. We deposited our arms about forty yards off," and I saluted him in the usual way, by clapping my hands. He pointed to his wife, as much as to say, the honour belongs to her. I saluted her in the same way, and, a mat having been brought, I squatted down in front of them. The talker was then called, and I was asked who was my spokesman. Having pointed to Kolimbota, who knew their dialect best, the palaver began in due form. I explained my real objects, for I have always been satisfied that the truthful way of dealing with the uncivilized is unquestionably the best. Kolimbota repeated what I had said to Nyamoana's talker, by whom it was transmitted to the husband, and by him again to his wife. It was thus rehearsed four times over, in a tone loud enough to be heard by the whole party of auditors. The response came back by the same roundabout route, beginning at the lady to her husband, &c. After explanations and re-explanations, I perceived that our friends were mixing me up with Makololo affairs. I therefore stated that my message of peace and friendship was delivered on the authority of the great Creator, and that, if the Makololo again broke His laws by attacking the Balonda, the guilt would rest with them and not with me. The palaver then came to a close. By way of gaining their confidence, I showed them my...

There are five lectures in all, each dealing with some one type of hero. In the first, it is the Hero as Divinity, and in this the heroic divinities of Norse mythology are especially considered. Carlyle finds this type earnest and sternly impressive. The second considers the Hero as Prophet, with especial reference to Mahomet and Islam. He chose Mahomet, he himself says, because he was the prophet whom he felt the freest to speak of. As types of the Poet Hero in his third lecture, he brings forward Dante and Shakespeare. "As in Homer we may still construe old Greece; so in Shakespeare and Dante, after thousands of years, what our modern Europe was in faith and in practice will still be legible." In the fourth lecture he considered the Hero as Priest, singling out Luther and the Reformation, and Knox and Puritanism. "These two men we will account our best priests, inasmuch as they were our best reformers."

In discussing polytheism, he says, "The same principles naturally deify mortals superior in power, courage, or understanding, and produce hero-worship." Hume, Natural History of Religion, Sect, iv, v, p. 144. Edin., 1854. Cp. "The second opinion is, that their gods were simply their kings and heroes, whom they afterwards deified." L.L. 11.

Scottish writer THOMAS CARLYLE (1795-1881) is perhaps best remembered today for dubbing economics "the dismal science," but in his day he was widely known-and often controversial-for his criticism of the "progress" of the Industrial Revolution, for his satires in the vein of Jonathan Swift, and for his championing of German Romantic poetry to English readers.This 1841 volume collects six of Carlyle's lectures on heroes, which offered a damning critique of the rising faceless corporatism and the denigration of the individual that the Industrial Revolution was promoting. Honoring the power of great men to change history, Carlyle discusses: The hero as divinity: Odin, Paganism, and Scandinavian mythology The hero as prophet: Mahomet and Islam The hero as poet: Dante and Shakespeare The hero as priest: Luther, Reformation by Knox, and Puritanism The hero as man of letters: Johnson, Rousseau, and Burns The hero as king: Cromwell, Napoleon, and modern revolutionism
