　　SIR WALTER SCOTT

　　Mill's autobiography shows the growth of a man in the midst of his age.It is the personal,though dispassionate,story of the conflict of an integrated spirit with the ideas and the affairs of men,One sees an age,and one sees a man both the man and the age are so much a part of our own day that by knowing them we learn to knw ourselves,Of the works by Carlyle here printed,Characterstics is a condensed and telling statement of some of his most fudamental ideas:the essay on Sir Walter Scott exhibits,both in its strength and in its shorcomings,the domination of ethical over esthtic considerations in his estimate of literature,and besides contains many haracteristic generalizations on human life and conduct.The Inaugral Address,the subject of which is nominlly the Reading of Books,summarizes rapidly his own intellectual history,and digresses in true Carlylean fashion into religion,ethics,history,and a variety of other topics.
