A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur

They contain his reflections upon books and men, the first rough jottings of his thought, and the records of current experience, set down not for the eyes of others, but as private memoranda for his own use. They exhibit his unwearied industry, and his mental ardor, vigor, and independence, while they reveal as well the strength of his moral convictions and the tenderness of his affections. To one who knows how to fill out the sketch which they afford, the character of their writer stands plain and impressive in its sincerity, integrity, and originality. A considerable part of these books was printed by Mr. Froude in his Life of Carlyle, but, as was generally the case with his transcripts from manuscript, with many inaccuracies. Although Mr. Froude sselections were judiciously made, their fragmentary character deprives them of a part of the interest and value which the Notebooks as a whole possess, in their illustration of the disposition and methods of their author.
(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
