THE FRENCH REVOLUTION BY CARLYLE

2 vols., 8vo (8.75 x 5.75 inches). Half crushed Prussian blue morocco by MACLEHOSE. Gilt raised bands and lettering on panels, Fleur de Lys centre tools. Cloth boards and marbled end-papers.
An elegant set of this standard work in a classic binding. Carlyle's Collected Works (1857-8) confirmed his reputation as one of the great writers of the period. George Eliot wrote that "it is not as a theorist, but as a great and beautiful human nature, that Carlyle influences us", and influential critic James Martineau cited Carlyle, along with Coleridge and John Henry Newman, as one of the three major influences on the religious spirit of the age.
