Excerpt from On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History: Six Lectures; Reported, With Emendations and Additions WE have undertaken to discourse here for a little on Great Men, their manner of appearance in our world's business, how they have shaped themselves in the world's history, what ideas men formed of them, what work they did - ou Heroes, namely, and on their reception and performance; what I call Hero-worship and the Heroic ia' human a 'airs. Too evidently this is a large topic; deserving quite other treatment than we can expect to give it at present. A large topic; indeed, an illimitable one; wide as Universal History itself. For, as I take it, Universal History, the history of what man has accomplished in this world, is at bot tom the History Of the Great Men who have worked here. They were the leaders of men, these great ones; the modellers, pat terns, and in a wide sense creators, of whatsoever the general mass of men contrived to do or to attain; all things that we see standing accomplished in the world are properly the outer mate rial result, the practical realisation and embodyment, of Thoughts that dwelt in the Great Men sent into the world: the soul of the whole world's history, it may justly be considered, were the his tory of these. Too clearly it is a topic we shall do no justice to in this place! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from On Heroes, Hero-Worship and the Heroic in History Of this Mystery of Life, and for chief recognised element therein Physical Force? Was it Christianism; faith in an Invisible, not as real only, but as the only reality; Time, through every mean est moment of it, resting on Eternity; Pagan empire of Force displaced by a nobler supremacy, that of Holiness? Was it Scepticism, uncertainty and inquiry whether there was an Unseen World, any Mystery of Life except a mad one - doubt as to all this, or perhaps unbelief and flat denial? Answering of this question is giving us the soul of the history of the man or nation. The thoughts they had were the parents of the actions they did; their feelings were parents of their thoughts: it was the unseen and Spiritual in them that determined the outward and actual their religion, as I say, was the great fact about them. In these Discourses, limited as we are, it will be good to direct our survey chiefly to that religious phasis of the matter. That once known well, all is known. We have chosen as the first Hero in our series, Odin the central figure of Scandinavian Paganism; an emblem to us of a most extensive province of things. Let us look, for a little, at the Hero as Divinity, the oldest primary form of Heroism. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Sartor Resartus, And, on Heroes, Hero-Worship and the Heroic in History As to Heroes and hero-worship there is no such story of disappointment to be told. It formed the last of the three series of lectures which Carlyle delivered, was received with great applause by crowded audiences, and yielded the lecturer a profit of some two hundred pounds. The six lectures, 'reported with emendations and additions, ' were published by Fraser in 1 the year after they had been given, and Carlyle, as we have seen, received 6 7 5 for the edition of 1000 copies. In 1 846 Carlyle wrote to Emerson of having corrected both Sortor and the Heroes for an edition by Putnam. The corrections appear to have been only slight, but in order to incorporate them both books are now printed according to the text published in 1858 in the collected edition of Carlyle's works. In this edition Carlyle omitted certain Testimonies of Authors Murray's reader's opinion, unfavourable reviews, and, to balance them, Emerson's preface to the American edition - which he had slightingly prefixed to the edition of 18 38. In 1 868 he saw fit to restore them, and they are therefore here appended. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Carlyle on Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History Number 5, Cheyne Row, Chelsea, was a fit home for a man of letters like Carlyle. In a ruined house, a stone's throw away, Smollett, another exiled Scottish author with a temper, wrote Count Fat/tom. Even nearer was the place where More had entertained Erasmus, when he came to England to study Greek. The very coffee-house in which Mr. Bickerstaff saw Pontius Pilate's Wife's Chambermaid's Sister's Hat, and entertained doubts thereon, was still flour ishing. In Chelsea once lived Bolingbroke, the friend of Pope and teacher of Voltaire; and earlier still, the Count de Grammont. Not far away, at 4 Upper Cheyne Row, lived Leigh Hunt, the lampooner of the Regent, - he spent two years in prison for calling a prince a corpulent Adonis of fifty l - the peculiar friend of Byron, the original of Harold Skimpole, the enviable hero of jenny Kissed Me. The win dows afforded glimpses of the Thames, Turner's own river, of Westminster Abbey, even of the ball and cross above Wren's monument, and, at nights, far away in the west, of the lights of Vauxhall. Here, friends, neither too many nor too few, Mill, Hunt, Sterling, Taylor. Allan Cunningham, gathered round the man and woman of genius they never wanted friends; and the letters of that time show that it was a time of peace. As soon as he was settled in his new home, Carlyle set to work, with good heart, upon his first great book, He French Revolution, itself, as he says, a kind of French Revolution, labored over it late and early, lost the first book by the neg ligence of Mrs. Taylor's maid, according to the famous story, rewrote it, and then, at the end of two years' work.
