[Rarebooks] FS: Thomas Carlyle Autograph Letter dated 4 Feb. 1845

[Karmbooks at aol.com]

Carlyle, Thomas. A.L.S. 8vo. 2-1/2 pages. Dated “Chelsea, 4 Feb. 1845.” 
Apparently written to the editor of the Westminster Review, who was W. E. Hickson, 
at this time, in regard to a previous letter of recommendation for a “Mr. 
Phillips.” Carlyle wants to clarify his relationship to the man and to make sure 
that he hasn’t recommended someone who he knows only slightly. He states, “
but I have no right to assist one man by stealing the time and patience of 
another.”     $1,000.00 (trade discount allowed)
An interesting letter reflecting the author’s thoughtfulness and concern 
about being misunderstood.
