Excerpt from The Activism of Thomas Carlyle: Thesis To conceal one's Opinions, one's affections, in a word, one's self in the literary productions of a lifetime, is well nigh impossible. Doubt less there are degrees of this revelation of self, but truth must out Carlyle's biographers evidently agree with us here. Otherwise they would never have taken pen in hand either for or against him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
