This book consists of selections from the works of Thomas Carlyle. The works included are Sartor Resartus, The French Revolution and Past and Present.

Of the three works I prefer The French Revolution. The other two works did not seem to have a point. At least to my somewhat limited mind. But the selection from The French Revolution was very well-written and very interesting. I do not think Carlyle was in sympathy with the revolution but he was fair in reporting the events and people. I would be interested in reading the complete book about the revolution. ( )
