Every one knows that it is to the energies of Thomas Carlyle that London owes the great library bearing its name. Experiencing the great disadvantage of not having books of reference at hand to work from, and the utter impossibility of working on such gigantic schemes as his were at the British Museum, he set on foot an agitation. The end was recognised as good, and the great men of the day took up the cause and carried it through. This little volume comprises the collection of letters written by Carlyle to W. D. Christie, which brought about the establishment of the valuable institution known as the London Library, in St. James’s Square, now looked upon as indispensable.
