JAMES MOFFAT ASKING CARLYLE FOR A SPIRITUAL PATH
CARLYLE
(Thomas, 1795-1881, Historian)
Letter signed ("T. Carlyle"), written in the hand of Carlyle's niece and amanuensis Mary Aitken to James MOFFAT
(c. 1839-1915, Draper, Sewing Machine and Bicycle Dealer in Yeovil) saying "It seems to me beyond all question that Christianity in every part and shape of it, is worthy of the best and deepest consideration from every serious pious minded man. What any further notions on the subject may be & do not at present state but I will practically recommend to you the following list of reading which you will find in the last volume (people's edit) of Carlyles's Translation of Meister viz; Meister's Travels Chapters 11 & 12 (if indeed you have not already read the whole work, which is well worth your while). Kinder slightly symbolised or poetic forms you will there find what I have long considered the truest and wisest utterance concerning Education and religion that has hitherto been published by any man. In fact if you read the whole volume and again read it till it becomes significant & you feel and understand it, the task will be well worth your while ...", 2 sides 8vo., with integral blank, and original envelope, 5 Cheyne Row, Chelsea, 31st December 1875, together with a fine Albumen Carte de visite Photo by Francis Earl of the recipient, possibly with his signature on the verso, 4" x 2½", Worcester, circa
