Some Personal Recollections of Carlyle is a book written by Henry James that provides an intimate and personal account of his interactions and experiences with the famous Scottish philosopher and writer, Thomas Carlyle. The book is a collection of James' memories and recollections of Carlyle, including anecdotes, conversations, and observations about his personality, character, and work.Throughout the book, James shares his admiration for Carlyle's intellect, wit, and literary genius, as well as his eccentricities and idiosyncrasies. He also reflects on the impact that Carlyle had on his own development as a writer and thinker.The book is not only a compelling portrait of Carlyle but also a valuable insight into the literary and intellectual culture of the nineteenth century. James' writing is engaging and vivid, and his personal recollections provide a unique perspective on one of the most influential figures of his time.Overall, Some Personal Recollections of Carlyle is a fascinating and insightful book that offers a glimpse into the life and work of one of the most important writers and thinkers of the nineteenth century.To think of our head men believin' the stomach to be the man, and legislatin' for the stomach, and compellin' this old England into the downright vassalage of the stomach! Such men as these, forsooth, to rule England, the England once ruled by Oliver Cromwell! No wonder the impudent knave O'Connell takes them by the beard, shakes his big fist in their faces, does his own dirty will, in fact, with England, altogether! Oh for a day of Duke William again!'This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
